This study explores the impact of absenteeism and attendance metrics on employee morale and organizational efficiency. The research examines how absenteeism influences employee engagement, job satisfaction, and motivation, while also analyzing the role of attendance tracking systems in improving productivity, resource management, and operational effectiveness. Data was collected from employees across multiple sectors using surveys and interviews, and analyzed using statistical methods to identify key patterns and relationships. The findings indicate that absenteeism has a significant negative effect on morale, with increased workload and stress affecting job satisfaction. On the other hand, the implementation of attendance metrics was found to positively influence organizational efficiency by streamlining processes and improving workload management. The study concludes that organizations should adopt effective attendance policies, utilize metrics to identify patterns, and offer support systems to minimize absenteeism and enhance both employee well-being and organizational performance.
