SAS EMPLOYEES’ ATTENDANCE/PUNCTUALITY EVALUATION RESULTS

I.

RATIONALE: This survey or evaluation is conducted to develop an understanding of the impact of poor or irregular attendance and punctuality on overall attainment of a school committed to excellence. It is also important not to dwell on negative statistics around attendance. While participants need to understand the issues and potential impact, we would like to emphasize that most employees come to work regularly and on time.

II.

OBJECTIVES OF THE SURVEY: 1. To consider the effect poor attendance or punctuality can have on quality service of employees. 2. To increase understanding of how absences or poor punctuality may develop. 3. To explore good practice in attendance management.

III.

RESPONDENTS PROFILE: This survey was administered to the St. Anthony School personnel whether they incurred absences or tardiness last school year. These are faculty, non-teaching personnel and administrators. There were 64 respondents from the 85 personnel invited to share their views.

IV.

INSTRUMENTS/ TECHNIQUES UTILIZED: The main instrument used in gathering the data was the questionnaire supplied by the RPD Office in collaboration with the HRM Office.

    This is another thing everyone looks at. Attendance honestly defines you and your work ethic. It shows how much you want to o something and what effort you’ll put towards it. Attendance is what a coach, a teacher and a scout looks at too. A teacher with a student with bad attendance will most likely say that “if he doesn’t want to bother to show up, why should I even offer him/her my help?”…

    In the case study, Marshall Metro High School is in great dilemma over the truancy and grades of the students attending the school. The truancy staff initially spent two hours every day calling every student that had not reported in by 9:30 am. but the data showed that only 9% of those students called ever showed up so they decided to change tactics. Ms. Henry, the head of the truancy office, decided to start calling the habitual late comers at 6:30 am which resulted in 19 out of the 26 students showing up to school (Ferrell, Gatewood, Ferrell, & Taylor, 2010).…

    In summary, this report details the problems encountered with a member of staff working under my management whose attendance standards and working practices had started to slip. The session used was session 4 of Book 2 B120. Despite an appraisal system being in place and frequent discussions being had with the employee his attitude was impacting upon the other members of staff in the department. Using the notes from Book 2 session 4 the problem concepts observed are that no clear instructions had been set and any monitoring system utilised fully to best effect. The recommendations to overcome the issues would have been a structured meeting with the individual followed by better monitoring and reward/praise on follow-up over a monthly or weekly interval. Further support and training for the Manager in charge of the department would have lessened the impact on the whole department.…

    Although the United States is not the only society that places a high regard on being on time, Americans in particular it would seem have been criticized in the past for being a highly time-oriented people, and some other cultures may not place the same level of importance on being punctual as exists in the United States today. This sense of being tied to a clock may strike some observers from other cultures as being downright psychotic, but the fact remains that the importance of being on time is an enormously important part of the American value system and it would be reasonable to suggest that this will not change anyIn addition, people who fail to be on time also demonstrate - whether intentionally or not - what may be considered as a callous disregard for other people and their time. According to Wouters (1995), "Today, good manners do not distinguish any longer between 'the best people' and 'other people'; they function to enhance the understanding between all people," with punctuality representing one of the important components of etiquette in a modern society . Likewise, a recent survey found that punctuality, together with good grammar and - some surprisingly, cleanliness, are veritable hallmarks of good manners today (Kelly, 2006). This point was also made recently by Alexander (2006) who notes that, "Punctuality is one of the modest virtues hitherto regarded as good manners" (p. 18).…
