Using your absence rate
Compare the same period year on year, and look at the reasons behind absence as well as the number. Pair it with the Bradford Factor to see whether absence is frequent and short or long term.
Spot patterns early
Use 1:1s and reviews in Passport for Teams to support people before absence builds up.

What is the absence rate formula?
Total days lost to absence, divided by (headcount x working days in the period), multiplied by 100.
How many working days are in a year?
Around 252 to 256 in the UK once weekends and bank holidays are removed. Many organisations simply use 250 or 253.
