Administration in Healthcare Services
Absenteeism is a major issue faced by many employers in the current working scenarios. Many employers that the employees working under their supervision either remain absent from the work without a reason or show up late. This kind of casual and non-professional behavior not only affects their own performance and quality of work but also leaves a negative impression on the minds of the other employees as well (Kocakulah, Kelley, Mitchell, & Ruggieri, 2016). Such a kind of careless behavior from the side of a single employee encourages to other employees in the team or the organization to also adopt such behavior and if corrective action is not taken by the management at an appropriate time, the problem may elevate to an uncontrollable level.
Such a situation aroused with me when I was working as a healthcare care department manager in a hospital. The attendance policy at my organization had very strict rules and regulations regarding attendance and if an employee was late for the work more than 5 times in a month, the manager was bound to take corrective action against them. I was leading a team of 10 people and one of the employees in my team was showing a very casual attitude regarding his attendance. He had been late for work for 10 days in a month and I was quite worried that his this behavior will urge the others to show such a casual behavior as well.
Bing a manager, it was my responsibility to take care of this matter and take corrective action so that the employee may not repeat his behavior. Watching his attendance record, I conducted a meeting with him immediately and informed him that his careless behavior could lead to dangerous consequences for him. Moreover, a written warning in the form of e-mail or letter can also be issued in this case (Leon-Perez, Notelaers, & Leon-Rubio, 2016). In the meeting, I also tried to counsel him by asking him if he was having some personal issues and the organization could help with this really encouraged him and he told openly about his domestic issues.
