Hello everyone sorry if this topic have already exists somewhere I just reaaly need a help here. Are there any practises you can share you use no shows on trainings? We do send notifications to their line managers when the employee doesn't show up but still the percentage is comparatively high and we do pay the absence fee for that. Many thanks in advance for help.

Hard to say specificially because of your vagueness on the purpose/type of training! Some ideas: (1) Hold the managers accountable for getting their employees to training. Make sure they aren't being bombarded with makeup work if they do go to the training. Make sure you have manager "buy in". (2) Make sure that the trainings are a worthwhile, learning event and not wasting time just to have "training" (3) Take attendance/employee growth into account during performance review time. Reward those who attend and discipline those who don't. (4) Dock part of any raise for not participating. Institute a policy that an employee will be paid minimum wage for any time they should be in training, but aren't. You just have to tell them in advance of the time. (5) Reward employees for attendance....lunch, leave early, etc |

What kind of training is this? How long does it last? What is the cost of a no show? Is this cost charged to the no show's department's budget? Have you shown the "value add" of attending? Is the training required by some policy/practice or regulation? What percentage of "no shows" are you having? What function are you in and what is the level of the person you report to? What is their reaction? In other words who besides yourself is concerned if someone fails to attend? This is not an infrequent occurrence and considering the questions above may help lead you to the best answers for your organization |
