The strategy aims to improve employee attendance and reduce turnaround time (TAT) by implementing a structured approach. It begins by establishing clear rules and consequences, ensuring that everyone understands attendance expectations and the implications of non-compliance. This includes clear communication, policy development, and regular reviews of attendance records.
Employees are incentivized for good attendance and efficient TAT. The strategy includes introducing rewards programs and bonuses, recognizing employee achievements publicly, and creating a competitive environment among departments to encourage better performance.
The strategy also focuses on enhancing workplace flexibility and support, offering options like flexible working hours and remote work. It fosters a supportive culture promoting work-life balance and provides resources for productivity and mental health. Continuous feedback and assessment ensure the strategy remains effective.
