[QUOTE="KidUPS, post: 441010, member: 18294"] I believe it boils down to two things... First, supervisors not holding their employees accountable on attendance. It amazes me in my hub when I hear supervisors talking about how half their staff called in. How they were forced to get in the fray. I simply shake my head when they tell me its the same people over and over again. If you hold employees accountable on attendance...lates/absents...your staffing improves immensely. Yet, for whatever reasons, supervisors are either too lazy or too afraid to confront employees on their attendance. They either wait until their lead gets chewed out from his manager about documenting employees for attendance that they bring out the Pitts for a day or two. That will not get the job done. As a supervisor, documentation is key. Get a little leverage and employees tend to glance the other way when you jump into the fray. Second, supervisors are not mustering up the courage to confront their employees to get the job done. They rather overuse their best employees and let their difficult employees have their way. Not only is that a recipe for disaster, it is also a recipe for losing your best employees because they feel its not fair how those who bitch and complain have their way all the time. Supervisors do indeed need to let their employees complete the job at hand. No doubt about it. That is the definition of a good supervisor. But in order to achieve that, they must put a little more effort into their way of thinking. [/QUOTE]
