Employees and core volunteers are occasionally absent and are
asked to notify their supervisors, mentors, or volunteer leaders so
that appropriate work coverage can be arranged. Sometimes ongoing
absentee calls are indicators of dissatisfaction or burnout,
or they may indicate an illness or transportation problem. Employee
supervisors and volunteer leaders follow up on unreported
absences of employees and volunteers. The number of absentee
days per year are shown in Figure 7.4-18 and are an indicator of
workplace health. Absenteeism segmented data by employee,
volunteer, and type of volunteer are available on site
