The current study aimed to quantify the overall sickness absence and sickness presence in five Japanese companies.
Two indicators were calculated: worktime lost rates and average working days lost per employee per annum.
In total, 1.1% of working days per annum were lost due to sick leave. The average number of annual sick-leave days per employee was 2.58. Sickness presence accounted for a total worktime loss of 6.55% and an average of 15.36 work days lost per employee per annum. Overall, employees lost 7.65% of their total working days, or an average of 17.92 days were lost per employee per annum, due to sickness leave and sickness presence combined.
Sickness-absence rate among Japanese workers is quite lower than other countries; however, sickness presence is more critical than absenteeism, which is in line with other countries.
本研究旨在量化日本五家公司的总体缺勤率和出勤情况。
计算了两个指标:工作时间损失率和每位员工每年平均损失的工作日数。
总计每年有 1.1%的工作日因病假而损失。每位员工每年的平均病假天数为 2.58 天。病假缺勤占总工作时间损失的 6.55%,平均每位员工每年损失 15.36 个工作日。总的来说,由于病假和出勤,员工总共损失了 7.65%的总工作日,或平均每位员工每年损失 17.92 个工作日。
日本工人的缺勤率明显低于其他国家;然而,与其他国家的情况一致,出勤情况比缺勤更关键。
