Absenteeism hinders performance at fishing Complex
In a summary report of 2011, disclosed by the complex, it stated the issue of staff being absent and constantly late for work, is an ongoing and difficult problem.
The report which was laid in the House of Assembly on September 3, 2012, indicated that the major causes for their staff’s poor attendance and punctuality performance are: 1) personal life issues that transfer into the work environment, 2) social illnesses passed from one individual to another, 3) poor eating habits and nutrition, 4) Stress, 5) motivation.
“Absenteeism and tardiness are fundamental issues that are problematic in practice and plagues the BVI Fishing Complex. Absenteeism and tardiness has affected performance in ways that are difficult but not impossible to measure…The issue of absenteeism was dealt with compassion where appropriate and discipline when necessary. As a result, stricter disciplinary measures were imposed using general order and devolution guidelines in an effort to diminish the problem of absenteeism and tardiness.”
Another excerpt from the report read “They [issues] can only be addressed by management through giving advice and consistent counseling through referrals to try and influence each employee to adapt effective social and personal living skills for a better quality of life.”
In efforts to provide a solution, Management of the fishing complex offered training sessions to the staff, to promote vital growth and stability of the organization. “A commitment to developing all of the employees in the organization remains a major focus.”
