Employee\nabsenteeism on the day after the Super Bowl is nothing new; The Workforce\nInstitute at Kronos began tracking it in 2005 and has come away with some\ninteresting data on the phenomenon. For starters, regular employees won\u2019t be\nthe only ones failing to suit up on Monday; bosses will also be calling a\ntimeout from the office. In fact, 36 percent of executives and senior\nmanagement team members are expected to deviate from their normal working hours\nthis Monday, compared to 20 percent of mid-level employees. The reason for this\nis pretty clear: lower-level workers are more afraid of \u201coffsite penalties\u201d\nthan those higher up in the ranks. There is good reason for them to be\nconcerned, it turns out; 62 percent of managers suspect an employee isn\u2019t\nreally ill when he or she calls in sick the Monday following the Super Bowl.\nHow they react to these absences varies; laws differ from state to state, but\nin many cases, you are prohibited from requesting a doctor\u2019s note for a single\nday\u2019s absence, so as much as you may want to cry foul, you\u2019ll pretty much have\nto take your employee at their word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This\ndoesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t coach your staff ahead of time to ensure adequate\ncoverage for the next day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\noddsmakers in Las Vegas may be split over the outcome of this year\u2019s Super\nBowl, but one thing seems certain: this Monday\u2019s absenteeism rate is predicted\nto be higher than in any previous year tracked, according to a poll conducted\nby The Workforce Institute at Kronos. The trick is to have a plan ready, so you\naren\u2019t left scrambling. This is especially important in a medical facility,\nwhere staffing shortages can result in poor patient care and lead to increased\nsafety concerns. Don\u2019t fumble away your opportunity for strong coverage \u2013\ntackle the problem head-on instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recruiting\nbackup staff for Monday is a smart offensive move. Unlike the actual game,\nthere won\u2019t be any referees to penalize you for having \u201ctoo many men on the\nfield,\u201d so consider overstaffing for Monday and expanding your on-call\nlist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those\nemployees who do show up on Monday might be suffering the aftereffects of too\nmuch armchair cheering, which could result in negative productivity yardage or\na delay of game, in the form of tardiness. You might consider showing your\nappreciation by providing breakfast treats for those who do come in from the\nsidelines or bringing in lunch. And there is bound to be extra water-cooler\nchatter as Brady fans square off against Goff supporters. Take it all in stride\nand be thankful that the Super Bowl only occurs once a year! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
