Measuring & analysing absence: know where it comes from

An absence percentage tells you how much is being reported, but not why. Anyone who wants to work on absence prevention in a targeted way needs more than a total. You want to know which teams and target groups carry risk, which themes are at play and whether a measure actually works.

Measuring and analysing is therefore the basis of every preventive approach. It starts with good absence registration and continues with mapping the factors behind absence, such as workload, engagement and energy. That way you invest in a targeted manner instead of on gut feeling.

In the articles in this theme you read how to interpret absence figures, what insight into sustainable employability delivers and how to use data to support decisions towards the board and management team.
