𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐋𝐮𝐱𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐠'𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 The Luxembourg labor market is facing a significant but rarely discussed challenge: 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐦. As HR professionals and business leaders struggle to maintain productivity while respecting Luxembourg's robust worker protection laws, a concerning pattern has emerged. This problem was raised yesterday during the conversation with Luc Frieden at the Meet UEL "𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐜 𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐮𝐜 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧" event. Employers seem to be worried more than ever before. Recent statistics indicate Luxembourg's absenteeism rates have climbed steadily over the past five years, with short-term absences showing the most dramatic increase. This phenomenon affects organisations of all sizes across various sectors, from financial services to manufacturing. 𝐈𝐧 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞'𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬? The answer likely lies not in confrontation but in creative policy design, data-driven approaches, and renewed dialogue efforts. At MindForest, we have been working for more than 20 years on change management, helping companies and their teams create strategies to smooth transitions and foster engagement at work. We also offer 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 to monitor and analyse employee analytics, providing organisations with the insights needed to address absenteeism effectively. #absenteeism #changemanagement #leadership #mindforest Sophie Koyanagi, Laurence Folz, Florence Delacour, Estelle FLAMANT, Jane Barton, WeProgress.net

𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 📈 Teams aren’t built in perfect conditions - they’re forged through challenges. Resilience isn’t just about bouncing back; it’s about growing stronger through adversity. In our experience, two things make a big difference: 🔹 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – creating a space where people feel safe to share concerns, ideas, and even failures fosters trust and problem-solving. 🔹 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐬 – acknowledging progress, no matter how minor, fuels motivation and momentum, especially in tough times. 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: during a high-pressure project with tight deadlines, our team may face unexpected roadblocks. Instead of getting discouraged, we hold quick daily check-ins where everyone can openly share concerns and offer solutions. When we complete even small milestones - like successfully troubleshooting a complex issue or meeting an interim deadline - we take a moment to acknowledge the effort.

The real challenge isn't just about bringing different departments together – it's about transforming siloed experts into collaborative problem-solvers. At MindForest we like the BRIDGE approach to cross-functional excellence: 1️⃣ Create shared spaces where departmental barriers naturally break down. 2️⃣ Implement a system where team leadership rotates among different functions. 3️⃣ Establish objectives that transcend departmental metrics, focusing instead on collective outcomes that matter to the entire organization. 4️⃣ Help team members to understand the basics of other functions. When Marketing understands basic coding concepts or engineers grasp fundamental marketing principles, you will get an improved communication level inside the company. 5️⃣ Create evaluation systems that reward both individual expertise and cross-functional collaboration.

𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 📛 The only constant in today's business world is change, but that doesn't mean our teams should bear the brunt of transformation fatigue. After two decades of guiding organisations through complex transitions, at MindForest we’ve observed that #burnout during change is preventable with the right approach. From working with teams across various industries we’ve concluded that change requires additional emotional and cognitive bandwidth. When we launch new processes on top of existing workloads, we're asking our teams for extras. Instead, we need to create space by pausing non-critical projects and adjusting timelines. Our #approach is the power of micro-recoveries. Small, daily practices like dedicated no-meeting blocks, clear communication boundaries, and explicit permission to unplug can prevent the cumulative stress that leads to burnout.
