Employee absenteeism refers to employees frequently missing work without valid reasons or prior notice. It can disrupt productivity, increase workload for others, and raise costs for the organization. Causes may include health issues, personal or family problems, workplace dissatisfaction, or burnout. Managing absenteeism involves understanding its root causes, implementing supportive policies, and fostering a positive work environment to encourage consistent attendance while respecting employees' needs.
