offer number 06280001. Price is $29.95, plus tax, shipping and handling.
The 1999 CCH Unscheduled Absence Survey, now in its ninth year, surveyed 305
human resources executives in U.S. companies and organizations of all sizes and across
major industry segments (Finance/Banking, Health Care, Manufacturing, Retail/Wholesale,
Service, Utilities, Universities and Government).
The survey found that, in 1999, companies averaged a 7-percent decline in unscheduled
absenteeism, a small step forward against 1998s all-time high. Industry sector and
company size, however, appeared to influence greatly whether employees were on the job or
not. Of particular concern, absenteeism caused by worker stress has tripled since 1995,
according to the survey. And many human resources managers, who said absenteeism cost them
up to $602 per employee per year, reported they see little relief in sight.
