Como Utilizar os Dados de Ausência para Reduzir o Absentismo
MAY 12, 2026
Os dados de ausência são uma das fontes de insight mais ricas e menos utilizadas disponíveis para o RH. Eis como transformá-los em ação.
O que os seus dados de ausência estão a dizer
Absence data contains multiple diagnostic signals that HR rarely reads systematically. High overall absence rates signal a general wellbeing or management problem. High rates of short-term absence (one to three days) with frequent occurrences per individual signal the Bradford Factor problem: employees who are frequently absent in short bursts have a disproportionate operational impact compared to employees with the same total days absent in fewer, longer episodes. Clusters of absence on Mondays and Fridays signal presenteeism followed by avoidance, often associated with burnout or work-related stress.

Once you have identified the patterns, the intervention is typically at the manager level. High absence in a specific team, particularly short-term and Monday-Friday-clustered absence, is almost always partly explainable by management quality. Require managers of high-absence teams to review the absence data with HR and identify the root causes. Implement structured return-to-work conversations after every absence, regardless of length: they are the most effective single intervention for reducing short-term absence rates because they signal that absence is noticed and that manager support is available.
