According to Bureau of Labor Statistics , the absence rate for full-time employees is close to 3%. One theory of why the high absenteeism is that they’re so disengaged that they’re taking time off for job interviews.
What many companies are discovering is that their time & attendance software can actually play a role in keeping their employees engaged. A Time & Attendance System that includes an easy way for people to report their time, check PTO, and approve timesheets is one way to curb absences and keep people engaged.
