Face à un employé chroniquement en retard, il faut d’abord chercher à comprendre qu’est-ce qui bloque ? Un problème de transport, d’organisation, ou autre ? Une fois la cause identifiée, l’entreprise peut proposer des solutions, ajuster les horaires, encourager le télétravail si possible, ou trouver un moyen de simplifier son quotidien. L’objectif, c’est de travailler ensemble pour résoudre le problème.

Improving a chronically late employee’s punctuality can be start with addressing the issue directly but empathetically. Have a one-on-one conversation to understand the underlying reasons—personal challenges, time management issues, or workload concerns. Dont forget to Collaboratively set clear expectations for punctuality and outline the impact tardiness has on the team. Offer support, such as time management tips or adjustments like flexible hours if feasible. After that monitor their progress and recognize improvements to reinforce positive behavior. Consistent communication and accountability can help turn punctuality into a habit.

Estabelecer um clima de confiança e transparência sem essenciais para a resolução desse problema. Pois assim o funcionário se sentirá confortável para relatar o real motivo e como gestor podemos de fato implementar estratégias eficazes para resolução do problema. Passei por isso recente e agi dessa forma tendo um bom resultado. Agora estou fazendo acompanhamento constante, feedbacks e prestação de contas diárias. Tenho visto evolução com meu colaborador.

Chronic absenteeism is as much a morale drain as a productivity loss. This is a tough one. Firstly be human and humane with special leaves, like jury duty, and bereavement. The next thing, if someone is always in crisis, pause a moment and offer an EAP, listening ear, or value added coaching. Believing in someone and giving them a chance can go a very long way. … that said. There is a time and place for progressive discipline. Constant absence, inattention to work, even if many reasons are given, prevents you from planning the coverage strategy. It also shrinks the availability of planned time for others. The key thing form a relationship with your HR, and when your discernment and patience is tested call in help.
