What is this for?

The purpose of the Absence Improvement Checklist Form Template is to assist HR personnel and managers in identifying patterns of absenteeism among employees and implementing strategies to improve attendance. This is a robust checklist to ensure that key matters are dealt with and considerations are made when managing an absence improvement programme.

This checklist form allows systematic tracking and analysis of employee absences, helping to pinpoint recurring issues and potential causes of absenteeism. By using this template, HR can develop targeted interventions, provide support to employees facing attendance challenges, and ultimately foster a more productive and engaged workforce.

The form serves as a valuable tool in implementing an absence improvement policy and promoting a positive attendance culture within the organisation.
