Absenteeism
Absenteeism refers to the habitual or frequent absence of an employee from work. It can be caused by various factors such as illness, personal issues, lack of motivation, or poor work environment. In addition to causing disruptions in the workplace, absenteeism can also lead to decreased productivity, increased costs, and low employee morale.
