Bradford Factor

[Lonecatwithkitten]

I am interested to hear opinions on the Bradford factor from both employers and employees.
I think I am going to have to introduce it to manage 'culpable absenteeism. The level of odd day sickness is getting higher and I need a method of managing it that is clear and allows other staff to see that something is being done.

We do use the BF as a trigger for a conversation, but not for disciplinary. It has to be used appropriately to be a useful tool. We have also made sure that everyone understands the calculation and the point of it.

We also do a lot of employee engagement.
