Here’s How You Can Control Leavism At Your Workplace

Attributing to technological advancements, it has become easier for the employees to not come to the office and still claim to be working or actually work remotely from anywhere but the office.

If your company is also one of such great places to work who understand the value of employee’s time and personal life, pat yourself on the back. But, don’t you think you should also regulate the same, as when the same will exceed, it will become a habit and the employees will feel like they are putting a lot of extra efforts. This will spoil their work ethics. 

Nevertheless, before we begin, let us explore what leavism is and how the same can be controlled while using top HR software. 

What is Leavism?

Leavism is a habit that the employees cultivate because they think work hours are not enough to complete the work given to them. Completing the work in office according to them means that they are not getting disturbed by colleagues, calls and emails in between. Henceforth, they resort to taking leaves, not to work but to complete the backlog. 

Tips to Control Leavism

It is not compulsory that they are working on leaves because they waste time in office, it might be happening because they are overworked. But, whatever may be the case, there isn’t anything much that you can do about it. You cannot refrain from giving the employees leaves when they ask for. So, the first step to the same is to discuss with the employees. Talk to them and let them open up. If they are reluctant have a one on one discussion to ascertain the real reason. And when you are sure they are working for more hours than they are paid for, you can try the following tips.

 

• Redistribute the work-

 

Ask the employees and distribute the work in the team equally. Give each one of them the ownership so that each one is answerable to the work given. 

 

• Hire more employees- 

 

After doing so, you may end up realising that each of them is already choked with work and that you need a or a few more resources to delegate the work to. So, you should hire more employees under same profile in that case. A top HR software can help you in hiring more employees in less time. 

 

• Make a policy-

 

You can mention in your policy that the annual leaves should be taken by the end of the year. You can also mention that you can only work for overtime of X number of hours and not more than that. This will help control burnout and leavism. 

This whole practice will help you in not just controlling or eliminating leavism but also in understanding your employee’s plight. This further strengthens your relationship with the employees. They also start realising how much you care for them. So, don’t think much and start working on it now!
