Did you know over a third of UK employers don’t track the financial impact of employee absences?
This oversight is costing businesses more than they realise.
A recent study by Group Risk Development found that while 85% of employers record staff sickness absence, only 63% assess its financial impact.
Untracked absences lead to hidden costs such as lost productivity, increased admin, and expensive temporary cover.
Without proper data, businesses are blind to the true financial drain caused by absenteeism.
The rise of hybrid work has made this even harder.
Nearly 72% of employers admit remote work makes absence tracking more challenging.
If you don’t know who’s off and why, how can you manage workloads, support staff, and control costs?
Implementing a robust absence management system isn’t just admin, it’s a strategic tool.
Track absences, spot trends and take action to support your team and your bottom line.
Ignore it, and you risk lower productivity, higher costs and a demotivated workforce.
