?? Webinar Replay Inside! Unveiling the Surprising Impact of "Lates" on Your Productivity and Bottom Line

I want to talk to you today about a topic that's so simple, yet often overlooked - attendance issues. Specifically, "lates" and the hidden costs associated with them.

If you missed our webinar last week, you can catch the replay here ??

First, let's define "lates." By lates, we mean instances where employees are late for a shift, a break, or returning to their work station. Many organizations may not even realize they have an attendance problem because it's regularly seen as a minor issue. However, we believe that the hidden costs of lates do accumulate over time, leading to engagement issues and turnover.

In our recent webinar, we addressed one common misconception - the belief that timekeeping systems can effectively manage attendance issues. In reality, these systems are primarily designed for payroll purposes, not for driving productivity or addressing behavior.

To illustrate the point, we shared a short time study example, demonstrating the direct and indirect costs of lates can have on leadership, supervisors, your team and the potential impact on productivity and engagement.

When it comes to addressing attendance issues, how often do you find yourself buried in paperwork instead of focusing on improving processes and checking in with your teams? Believe me, I have been there and I know it can be frustrating. By streamlining processes and providing tools to address repeatable issues, you can be freed up to focus on more important tasks. Setting clear expectations and having incentives for good work and consequences for bad work is a must.

Don't just take my word for it - hear it directly from one of our customers, Buske Logistics, where productivity was increased by 15% after addressing attendance issues. Ernest, who coined the term “noise,” says addressing attendance issues has been a HUGE help, increasing morale and productivity.

So, what are the key takeaways when considering the various hidden costs associated with attendance issues?

• Provide your leaders with the right tools to address and document issues immediately
• Remove non-value add activities from their plates
• Make it easy and gratifying for leaders to connect with frontline employees
