Attendance Policy and Strategy
We are a manufacturing facility and are looking for input on how some of you out there handle attendance.
We currently are still using a points system but I'm sure you're all aware that has its challenges and human interpretation inconsistencies. Have any of you found a process that works both for your team and for your supervisors?
I'd love to hear some out-of-the-box concepts that you have found to be successful. Thanks so much for your time!

Hi, Vicki - This topic is near and dear to my heart as I have worked with several manufacturing companies over the years. You are absolutely right - the points and occurrence-based policies are outdated and do not yield the results we want. What I have found to be effective is to introduce an in-depth manager training program that gives supervisors the support and resources they need to effectively manage performance. I am happy to share resources with you if you are interested in designing a program for your organization. I also offer program design and facilitation services (sometimes they just have to hear it from someone else!) Feel free to reach out to me if you would like to discuss in more detail.
Thanks,
Christie Engler
