You’ve probably heard the terms absenteeism and presenteeism before, but do you really understand how much of an impact these workplace issues can have on a company? These issues go far beyond employees calling in sick too often or taking care of personal admin once they log in at work. On average, absenteeism can cost a company $1,685 per employee each year in the U.S., while presenteeism can cost companies up to $150 billion annually. In other words, these are not small issues, and they’re certainly not ones managers or leaders should ignore.
