Absenteeism is a problem

No Body In

If absenteeism is a problem for your team or company you are not alone. Yet that is probably little consolation because absenteeism puts a strain on the rest of the team and can affect morale.

The Irish Times 26 October 2010 reported – Absenteeism costs businesses in Ireland over €563 million each year, according to a new study from the Small Firms Association (SFA).

This reference is only talking about the smaller firms in Ireland. Smaller firms tend to have lower rates of absenteeism than larger or state owned companies, so just imagine the cost to the economy. One of the most significant contributing factors to absenteeism is stress.

What can you do? You could choose to have the person or people who are regularly absent coached. Alternatively a more long term solution may be to get coaching for the team leader or manger so they can learn how to recognise the signs and discover a way to deal with it more effectively in future delivering a more sustainable result.

“But I don’t think I’m a bully”

Your review could reflect the level of stress you are under. For some people when they are stressed they may treat members of staff (without meaning to or being aware of it) in ways in which they may be treating themselves internally – by being highly critical, judgemental and harsh and with unrealistic expectations. Or if the behaviour has been long standing, this may be your style which may have worked in the past or been overlooked.

Behaviour is just behaviour and it is usually supported by attitude. Like everything in this world attitudes can change as can behaviour. Are you open to becoming curious about yourself, your attitudes, your behaviours and the perceptions of others?

If you are give me a call and let’s talk about how you might begin to tackle this and tap into other ways of behaving that could deliver more effective results for you.

Is your boss or colleague picking on you?

When you write a report it is never good enough? Do you feel pressured unnecessarily? Are the goals being set for you unachievable in your mind? Are you never given the credit for your work? Does your manager make you feel small, maybe by reprimanding you in public, or by making inappropriate remarks? Or ……….(insert your own particular scenario here).

Are you ready to decide enough is enough. Are you ready to become more aware of your own automatic responses?  Do you think it could be useful to explore your own actions as well as those of others? Then you can start to finding out how you can begin behaving in alternative ways so you can have a better result? Or even make other choices….

If this sounds like something that could be of benefit to you give me a call and let’s discuss how coaching might be useful for you.
