Question 1

How do you reduce absenteeism?

Accepted Answer

You reduce absenteeism in three steps: first gain insight into the figures and causes, then activate employees and managers, and finally deploy targeted interventions. VitsAll measures sustainable employability via the TNO DIX, so you steer with data instead of assumptions.

Question 2

How do you lower employee absence in your company?

Accepted Answer

Start with a measurement that shows where absence in your company comes from. Then involve managers, improve conditions in the at-risk teams and put prevention first. That way you lower employee absence structurally rather than fighting symptoms.

Question 3

How can I structurally reduce absenteeism?

Accepted Answer

By first gaining insight into absenteeism figures and causes, actively involving employees in their own employability, and then deploying targeted interventions. A layered approach works better than isolated measures.

Question 4

What are effective tips for reducing sick leave?

Accepted Answer

Invest in vitality programmes, actively involve managers, ensure open communication and regularly measure employee wellbeing. Prevention is always cheaper than absenteeism management after the fact.

Question 5

How do I draw up an effective absenteeism policy?

Accepted Answer

Analyse the causes of absenteeism in your organisation, set measurable targets and develop a plan with concrete measures per team. Ensure buy-in from managers and HR.

Question 6

What does high absenteeism cost an organisation?

Accepted Answer

On average, one day of absence costs between €250 and €400 per employee in direct costs. Indirect costs such as replacement, productivity loss and extra workload on colleagues make the total much higher.
