Absence Management

Policies and processes for monitoring, managing, and reducing employee absence.

Full Definition

Absence management is the systematic approach to tracking, analyzing, and reducing employee absence — both planned (annual leave, maternity leave) and unplanned (sick leave, unauthorized absence). Effective absence management includes clear absence reporting procedures, return-to-work interviews, occupational health referrals, and proactive wellbeing initiatives. HR software automates absence recording, triggers manager alerts for patterns, and generates absence analytics to identify trends.
