Are there positive or negative absences trends?
Analysis of absenteeism trends:
• In the last 12 months, there has been a significant increase the average days of absence per employee. In summer 2024 (July/August), the figure was over 3 days per employee, which represents a high level.
• There has been a slight decline since September 2024, but the figures remain at an elevated level (September: 3.02 days).
• Comparing the current development with previous years, it is clear that absences have increased overall since 2023. In summer 2023, the figures were still around 2.6-2.7 days per employee.
• The months with the most absences are regularly the summer months (July/August), which indicates seasonal effects such as vacation periods or increased sick leave.
Conclusion: There is currently a negative trend with increasing absences, particularly in summer. There was also an increase compared to the previous year. Development should continue to be monitored in order to identify causes and counteract them in a targeted manner.
