From www.aigroup.com.au: Ai Group has released a new benchmarking resource focused on employee absenteeism in Australia to help employers understand and address absenteeism patterns.

The analysis shows that absenteeism rates fluctuate seasonally, exceeding 8% in winter and dropping to around 7% or lower in summer, primarily due to seasonal illnesses like colds and flu.

This resource aims to assist businesses in developing effective workforce management strategies in response to these trends.
