As Managers, we often find ourselves feeling helpless in controlling who shows up for work and who decides to stay home. We often blame the employees for “breaking” the schedule because it does not fit into their lifestyle properly or they feel overworked. When we dig deeper and review policies and deployment strategies we often see areas where employees are incentivized to make the wrong decision. Whether it is the high season and they are working six or seven days in a row and decide to take a day off and call it a sick day, or if they really are sick and stay home an extra, unnecessary day, we will explore some of these scenarios and look at ways to minimize their negative effect.
