The Impact of Employee Absenteeism in Fast-Tracks Projects

Abstract

Fast-tracking is a project management technique where activities are performed simultaneously, instead of waiting for each task to be completed separately. When personnel do not show for work, it creates a negative impact. The purpose of this project was to measure this impact. For two months, a residential and commercial construction solar industry company made a study and measure the impact of employee absenteeism. The impact on the budget was negative economicallyl. Once the company understood the impact and measure it, they established techniques and decreased the absence from 15-25% to 7-12.5%.
