John Maynard Keynes famously predicted a ubiquitous 15-hour workweek by the year 2030 — a direct result of technological advances, he claimed. Written in a 1930 essay, the feasibility of his prediction wanes as 2030 looms closer, and the 40-hour workweek remains the norm.

Absenteeism costs companies approximately $3000 per year per employee, a cost that can add up fast over time. Companies that want to manage that cost need to put processes in place that address the underlying causes of absenteeism as well as guide employees and managers in carrying out that process.
