Absenteeism can be standardized and measured using the Bradford formula, also referred to as the Bradford Factor. The Bradford Factor provides a fair method of determining when to take action against employees by evaluating an individual’s score based on absence trends. The Bradford Factor aids in quantifying the possible influence it might have on the general operation of the company.
How is the Bradford Factor calculated?
The formula S²×D=B can be used to determine an employee’s Bradford Factor.
If B is the Bradford Factor score, D is the total number of days, and S is the total number of absences.
