AXTER is a consultancy specializing in behavioral science, focused on transforming workplace culture and enhancing organizational performance. Our expertise lies in reducing absenteeism and developing return-to-office strategies. 1) **Absenteeism Reduction Plans (ARP)**: We assist you in sustainably reducing lost workdays by targeting the fundamental causes of absenteeism rather than merely addressing its symptoms. Utilizing a data-driven approach, AXTER combines information from HRIS, payroll, and leave data with pulse surveys and interviews to create risk heatmaps based on role, location, and management. We analyze patterns such as seasonality, type of shifts, and employee tenure while quantifying costs associated with absenteeism. Our attention then shifts to addressing issues like workload distribution, leadership styles, role clarity, health and ergonomics, scheduling, and policy obstacles. As a result, clients typically see a significant reduction in lost workdays, increased employee engagement, and decreased overtime and replacement expenses, with benchmarks indicating that an investment of €1 can generate €2.7 in savings and productivity gains. 2) **Return to Office (RTO)**: Are you thinking about inviting your employees back to the office to enhance performance and productivity? Before proceeding, it's crucial to evaluate your current policies and the type of work environment you are offering. We can help you identify challenges that arose during the remote work phase that need to be addressed. Our team can assist you in crafting a return-to-office plan tailored to your workforce, taking into account factors such as seniority, turnover risks, and knowledge retention. Our objective is not to impose strict mandates but to foster a workplace where employees feel inspired, at ease, and engaged, whether they are in the office, working remotely, or adopting a hybrid approach.
