How did you become a manager? You thought it was your experience, wisdom, education, and intelligence that got you into this management role? Wrong. The real reason is, managers show up for work more often. Yes, - you just showed up! Whether attendance causes managers, I don't know, but manager's attendance is 14% better than line workers.
Personally, I don't do "sick" very well. It's annoying and at half energy I don't know what to do with myself. Sick means not in the game. And life is good, - matter of fact, - it's great. I know I've been lucky and my heart goes out to all those people with illnesses, handicaps, and all the other obstacles life throws at us.
The benefits insurance industry profits or doesn't, on accurate risk assessment. Here are trends they look at to predict absenteeism.
The number one motivator is not money, - it's involvement! Sick days are only taken by people who are not involved. They're either chosen wrong or managed wrong. Either way, - they push back by being sick.
Certainly, 1 out of every 3 sick days is because someone is legitimately ill. The other 2 days were taken by people who just don't care!
Join me on Sept. 14th and I'll show you how to cut your team's sick days in half, (at least)! Seriously.
See you for breakfast,
Wolfgang
p.s. Hiring interview question: How many sick days did you have last year? And yes, we'll verify it when we check your references.

- The larger the organization grows, the higher the rates of absenteeism.
- Single people are absent more than married people.
