Evren Esen, director of survey programs at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), and Sue Meisinger, executive management columnist, speaker, and consultant, as well as the former president and CEO of SHRM, join Joyce Maroney, director of The Workforce Institute at Kronos Incorporated, to discuss absenteeism management strategies.

Topics addressed in the podcast include:

-- An overview of the research report, including the overall financial impact of absenteeism, the effect that unplanned absences have on productivity, how absences affect co-workers, and how absenteeism management varies across different countries and regions;
-- The importance of implementing a clear and consistent absence management policy, including the key components of an effective absenteeism policy with tips on how to enforce the policy once implemented;
-- How inadequate staffing can lead to high levels of stress among employees and advice for organizations to combat absence-related stress in the workplace; and
