Which productivity trends can be derived from our absence data?
Here are the key productivity trends from absenteeism data over the last 12 months:
1. Increasing absenteeism rate in summer
• The absenteeism rate was relatively constant between 11—13% from September 2024 to May 2025, but rose significantly to up to 15% in June, July and August 2025.
• In August in particular, the highest figure was reached at 14.97%.
• This indicates seasonal effects (vacation time, possible heat waves or summer flu).
2. Average days of absence per employee
• The figures are usually between 2.4 and 2.9 days per month, with outliers in July (3.37 days) and August (3.15 days).
• This, too, shows an increase in summer, which can temporarily reduce productivity.

3. Illness rate (FTE) remains stable
• The disease-related failure rate ranges between 2.4% (January) and 4.2% (March). There are no noticeable peaks; the values did not rise disproportionately in summer.
• This suggests that summer absences are mainly due to vacation and not due to illness.
