The answer is more complex than โlack of commitment.โ
Absenteeism can be influenced by workplace culture, mental health, socioeconomic pressure, management practices, job satisfaction, and even the way organisations respond to absence.
The cost is significant. Lost productivity, disrupted operations, pressure on other employees, and higher replacement costs can quietly damage an organisation.
