Description
Employee absenteeism is a chronic organization problem that costs US corporations an estimated $30 billion annually. In this volume, Colette Frayne reports the results of the first study to examine empirically the use of a simple straightforward self-management training programme to increase employee attendance. The author presents a complete description of the self-management training process used in the study, shows how self-management can be of significant value in reducing employee absenteeism, and offers precise information for the human resources professional who wishes to organize and implement self-management training within his or her own organization. Frayne also addresses other applications of self-management in the workplace, demonstrating that the approach works because it accommodates both the employees’ needs for freedom and the organization’s need for control.
