Absenteeism and turnover remain constant, costly challenges for manufacturers. However, solving these problems doesn’t always require expensive software or sweeping changes. The data you’re collecting every day may reveal the treasure you seek.

Timecards, attendance logs, and even exit interviews hold the keys to improving absenteeism and turnover. When you dig into this treasure, you can uncover patterns, make better decisions, and optimize your workforce in ways you may not have considered.

  • Recurring Themes: What do exit interviews or informal feedback reveal about common frustrations?
