Employee Punctuality And Why It Matters So Much
2

• Aside from it being deeply irritating and
  disrespectful when your employees dont show up
  to work on time, it can affect your business in
  other ways, too. Of course, there is the
  potential for a loss in productivity, especially
  if the employee (or employees) shows up late on
  multiple occasions, but the reputation of your
  organization is also at stake and at risk of
  being tarnished.
• Here are a few reasons why employee punctuality
  matters so much, and why as a business owner or
  manager, you shouldnt ignore it

• It can affect team morale and productivity
• Punctuality leads to a higher morale among a
  workforce, no matter how big or small the force
  is, and when someone is repeatedly late or leaves
  earlier than they are permitted, the natural flow
  of work is disrupted as other team members step
  in to cover the individuals workload. This can
  become particularly disruptive to a workforce
  when shifts are involved, as who wants to work an
  8 hour shift only to be told that you must stay
  even longer until your replacement decides to
  show up?
• When punctuality is a continuing problem, tension
  and resentment can quickly arise among a team,
  and where there is tension and ill feeling, there
  is naturally a loss of morale and potentially a
  loss of productivity, too.

• Punctuality can affect public perception of your
  organization
• You may think that punctuality affects only those
  working for an organization, or running it, but
  customers are often able to spot when employees
  are late, and this can easily and quickly lead to
  an overall sense of distrust, particularly if
  your staff deal directly with customers. A
  workforce who are punctual, are usually viewed as
  a workforce that can be trusted to complete their
  job to the best of their ability.
• Never forget that every employee reflects upon a
  company, and if you want to be reflected well as
  an organization, then you need to focus on making
  sure your staff are punctual and responsible.

• Employees who are late or leave early may not
  take your company where you want it to go
• Promoting staff and encouraging them to take a
  greater role in an organisation, is what most
  bosses want, and one employee who is consistently
  late or leaves before the end of their shift,
  will probably not help take your company where
  you want it to go.
• Encouraging punctuality and timeliness in the
  workplace should always be considered a priority,
  whether you have just a handful of staff or
  multiple large teams, and its importance should
  never be underestimated.
