The Bradford Factor is used to help identify staff whose sickness absenteeism needs reviewing in greater detail.

TeamSeer calculates the Bradford Factor automatically, for any time span, and for all employees. Because TeamSeer is specifically designed for absence management, it takes account of factors such as half-days, bank holidays, and part-time working, and will always give you the correct figures.

Because it is so easy for line managers to register staff absence using TeamSeer, they are more likely to create a full record of absenteeism.

Because employees use TeamSeer to log their holiday, and every time they log in they see their absence, they are made aware that their absences are being tracked – and it is obvious to them and to their line manager when they start abusing the system. Using TeamSeer will therefore reduce sickies in the first place.

TeamSeer is set up so that only HR managers can see the Bradford Factor, so that employees don’t ‘work up to the limits’.
