With news reports of a recent study released by the Conference Board of Canada indicating that worker absenteeism cost the Canadian economy an estimated $16.6 billion in lost productivity in 2012, News Talk 770 in Calgary contacted Clear HR Consulting to have Cissy Pau appear on the Kingkade & Kelly show to discuss the findings of the study.
Some of the topics discussed on the segment included:
- why public sector workers take more sick days than private sector employees;
- should employers be tracking absences and the reasons for absenteeism; and
- what could be done to improve the system to prevent the financial losses to the economy from worker absenteeism.
You can listen to Roger Kingkade and Erin Kelly discuss the topic of absenteeism in the workplace with Cissy Pau here.
