Common causes of absenteeism include health issues, stress, or low motivation toward the job. Companies track absenteeism as a rate to see how often it's happening. If absenteeism becomes frequent, it's usually treated as a warning sign by HR. In such cases, HR usually talks to the employee directly to understand the real reason behind the absenteeism.
