## **Absenteeism Hits Hard in Manufacturing: How is Your Team Tackling the Cost?**

Every manufacturing facility is expected to hit production numbers—at cost and quality—every single day. This becomes _a lot_ harder to do when your team fails to show up for work.

Chronic, unplanned absenteeism is a major issue for many U.S. companies. Approximately [one in ten hourly workers](https://www.circadian.com/images/pdf/CIRCADIAN_-_Absenteeism_-_Bottom_Line_Killer.pdf) in the U.S. is absent when they’re scheduled to be at work on any given day.

Unscheduled absenteeism costs manufacturing operations more than you might realize—about $3,600 per hourly employee per year. These include both direct and indirect costs that can add up significantly, making it impossible to run a lean manufacturing organization.

In this eBook, we dive into how chronic, unplanned absenteeism is a costly impediment to manufacturing productivity and efficiency, plus how companies today are making huge leaps to improve absenteeism with better systems and processes.
