Nutrimental Industria e Comercio de Alimentos
S.A., a Brazilian manufacturer of healthy food
products, used an Appreciative Inquiry approach
to help employees regain their confidence and
gain a competitive advantage. One of the goals
identified was to reduce absenteeism. The
Absenteeism Index, shown above, is a calculation
of the total number of absent days divided by
(the total number of working days multiplied by
the average number of employees times) multiplied
by 100. The goal for most teams was to reduce the
Index to 1.
