What is Absenteeism Rate?

Absenteeism Rate measures the percentage of total scheduled work time that employees are absent, including sick leave, unplanned absences, and other non-work time. This metric indicates workforce health, engagement levels, and potential underlying organizational issues. High absenteeism may signal low morale, health concerns, or management problems.
