 What's really changing with Indiana's new absenteeism law? Senate Enrolled Act 482, effective July 1, sets clear statewide definitions for chronic absenteeism and standardizes how schools report absences, without changing local attendance policies. Despite rumors, the law doesn't give the state more control over families—it simply promotes early intervention through meetings before any legal action, and only for unexcused absences.

SD Worx Ireland, a leading payroll and HR solutions provider, has announced the results of its latest survey which reveals one in five (21%) employees in Ireland confess to misusing leave policies and taking absences without a valid reason. However, 40% claim their team is experiencing issues related to employee absenteeism - suggesting employees are not owning up to it, or their colleagues are overly suspicious. The independent study was carried out by iVOX on behalf of SD Worx and surveyed 1,000 employees in Ireland to gain insights into the current job market and the concerns amongst today's workforces. Additionally, it exposes some common grievances among employees in Ireland and found that almost half (49%) feel they are underpaid for the work that they do. It also suggests that employees are feeling overworked, with 46% saying that their team is facing staff shortages and struggling to keep up with their current workload. This increases to nearly half (48%) of employees who expect their team to face worsening talent shortages over the coming years. Compounding these challenges, 43% of employees believe their team's skills gap cannot be easily filled. Despite this, 44% say they are strict with their workloads and schedules, solely focusing on what is necessary and not working overtime. Amidst these rising pressures, the survey found that 44% of employees in Ireland are currently looking for a new job, but 60% of those surveyed admit that it is difficult to find a job within the labour market right now. However, 63% of employees are motivated and passionate about their work, while 62% say that they would recommend their organisation to a friend looking for a job. Eimear Byrne, Country Leader, SD Worx Ireland, said: "This research highlights a growing sense of dissatisfaction among Ireland's workforce. With 39% of respondents saying their manager struggles with effective leadership, it's clear that many employees feel they're lacking valuable guidance and mentorship. As a result, we are now seeing a knock-on effect with more people actively seeking to change jobs and widespread concerns about staff shortages, as well as underpayment. This comes as the EU Pay Transparency Directive is due to be transposed into Irish law in June 2026 - if done right, this could be an opportunity to alleviate employees' pay concerns and help to build trust. "Ireland is at full employment and organisations are facing a critical need to re-evaluate how they engage and support employees. The changing economic landscape is making businesses more conservative and they are under increased pressure to keep operations running smoothly, while trying to retain talent. With skills shortages and rising absenteeism in the mix, it's becoming harder to strike that balance. Now is the time to invest in people strategies and provide employees with the support, development opportunities, and workplace culture they need to thrive. This will allow businesses to secure and retain top tier talent while also building more resilient and engaged workforces for the future." See more stories here.

The role of anxiety in these response patterns. Assessing the function of School Refusal behaviors. Helping parents intervene with School Refusal.

Adare research reveals absenteeism as key indicator of organisational health in 2025

Adare, a leading provider of HR and Employment Law support services, has released the findings from its latest HR Barometer Report (9.1), underscoring absenteeism as a critical indicator of overall workplace health and performance. This comes at a time when hybrid work, economic pressures, and escalating employee stress levels are heightening the challenges for organisations. The comprehensive biannual HR Barometer Report offers deep insights into the trends, challenges, and priorities that are shaping the Human Resources landscape across Irish organisations in 2025. It highlights that while organisations are increasingly focusing on employee wellbeing, the anticipated absence rate for 2025 is forecasted to rise to an average of 8.5%. This figure has significant implications for productivity and operational costs. While 79% of organisations have an Employee Assistance Programme as part of health & wellbeing initiatives, only 8% are currently measuring performance as a direct output of wellbeing initiatives, revealing a disconnect between intention and measurable impact. Sarah Fagan, Managing Director at Adare, commented, "While our HR Barometer highlights several areas of concern, the findings around absence management point to a particularly troubling trend. Absenteeism is not simply a standalone issue - it's a key indicator of broader organisational health. Organisations are forecasting a significant average absence rate of 8.5% for 2025. "What deepens the concern is that despite an acknowledged focus on employee health and wellbeing, a mere 8% of organisations currently measure performance as a direct output of these crucial initiatives. As absence rates rise, so too do costs, inefficiencies, and the strain on team performance. Organisations must adopt a more data-driven and integrated approach to managing absence, with a focus on building sustainable performance and long-term resilience." The report also sheds light on the increasing pressures faced by employees - from rising workload demands to heightened stress and anxiety. These factors contribute to burnout and long-term health risks. Additionally, while hybrid working has become the norm, 1 in 2 organisations report challenges in maintaining employee engagement under this model. Other key findings from the HR Barometer 9.1 include: Health, Wellbeing & Absence: Organisations anticipate an average absence rate of 8.5% in 2025. While the focus on employee health and wellbeing is growing, only 8% currently measure performance as a direct output of related initiatives, indicating a potential gap between focus and measurable outcomes. HR Priorities Shift: Talent Retention emerges as the top HR priority for 2025, cited by 43% of organisations, with Employee Engagement and Experience remaining crucial at 40%. Talent Turnover and Costs: Medium-sized businesses reported an average turnover rate of 14.3% in 2024, with the average cost of replacing an employee estimated at €10,125. Rising Conflict Levels: 44% of organisations reported an increase in time spent on managing workplace conflicts. Senior management, on average, spends 29.9 days per year dealing with employee relations issues. Compensation Trends: 72% of organisations plan to increase salaries in 2025, with 21% considering changes to their pay models in response to market pressures and the sustainability of existing pay frameworks. Hybrid Working Practices: Hybrid work continues to be the norm, with employees working an average of 2.6 days in the office. However, 50% of organisations report challenges in maintaining employee engagement with this model. The Adare HR Barometer advocates for a more strategic, data-led approach to absence management, which is integrated within a broader commitment to creating a healthy, high-performing workplace. Through its Healthy Place to Work offering, Adare supports organisations in aligning wellbeing initiatives with measurable outcomes, driving sustainable performance and fosteri...
