It’s getting on the nerves of HR managers, executives, and occupational health services. Who is it? Absenteeism, of course! Since 2016, the absenteeism rate<\/strong> has been steadily increasing in companies: from 4.8% in 2019, workplace absenteeism in France rose to 5.5% in 2021. According to the Verlingue study<\/a>, its level is expected to be the same or higher in 2022. Absenteeism affects all sectors, both public and private.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moovency aims to decipher the phenomenon by reviewing the causes of absenteeism in the workplace.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Workplace Absenteeism, a Growing Phenomenon\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Definition of Workplace Absenteeism<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Anact-Aract <\/span><\/i>network, a public organization specializing in occupational health issues, defines absenteeism as “any absence that could have been avoided through sufficiently early prevention of factors leading to deterioration of working conditions, broadly understood physical environments but also work organization, quality of employment relationships, reconciliation of professional and private time, etc.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This definition directly links the phenomenon to the quality of working life.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is thus a distinction between absences independent of the company, such as those related to seasonal illnesses or private causes, which are not problematic in themselves, and absences where work is directly affected by absenteeism.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Therefore, attention must be paid to the functioning of the company, workload, and working conditions to reduce absenteeism.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
