ABSENTEEISM AND THE IMPACT OF COST IN HOSPITALS

2012

Absenteeism has a significant impact on entities, being both profoundly negative and a measure of the ability of institutions to offer high quality products and services respecting the deadlines and budgets. As a chronic phenomenon, it affects the morale of team work, through the additional work that the latter must make to compensate for their colleagues and affects the quality of goods or provided services. Absent employees create an unfair overload to those who are present, because this constant miss disturbs the long-term environment; generates additional costs, delays and risks, in general reduces the productivity and efficiency of the organization.
