Strategic absenteeism is an increasingly relevant issue for companies, with significant impacts on productivity and workplace organization. In our study “Strategic Absenteeism in 2025”, we analyzed this phenomenon by identifying the most critical periods of the year, the tactics most commonly used by employees, and the strategies that can be adopted to prevent and counteract such practices.
Did you know that, through targeted planning of vacation days, leave permits, and medical certificates, a disloyal employee could be absent for up to 25 days in a single year, taking advantage of long weekends and public holidays? Or that sectors like logistics and manufacturing are among the hardest hit, with absenteeism rates spiking as high as 50–70% during peak periods?
In our report, you’ll find up-to-date data, regional analyses, and practical advice to help your company effectively manage the risk of strategic absenteeism.
