The Best Way to Replace Call-Outs

Absenteeism and call-outs account for one of the biggest pains managers deal with on a weekly, sometimes daily basis. According to Forbes, absenteeism alone costs a little over $3,600 per year for each hourly worker. Many call-out practices to backfill staff relies on operation managers to find a replacement on incredibly short notice, usually leaving the remaining team short-staffed and struggling to meet demands. To say the least, mitigating call-outs is a huge waste of time, money, and resources.
Managers have began to source the problem by looking into ways to lower call-outs, utilize demand data to predict schedules, and allocate backfilling responsibility to employees who couldn't make it through tech-based communication.
