Productivity Tip:
We should all be like the players in a professional basketball championship series.
They are determined to finish the game strong no matter what. They prepare, plan and
strategize to deliver the greatest game of their lives. Regardless of what happened the
last game, they still show up for the next game with the same intensity as if it was the
first time. Happy learning!
A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW
1) Introduction (2 mins)
Taking leave is important because it
promotes good physical and mental of
employees, which ultimately improves people's work-life
balance and reduces unscheduled days off.
Recharged people are less likely to be sick or take
unexpected time off work.
By allowing your team to take leaves, the organization is
showing that it cares about its employees. This means
happier, more loyal employees who are motivated to help
the business achieve its objectives.
However, leave may also mean that the employee is absent. Looking at it in different perspective, an employee
who is always absent may also have a negative impact in the overall wellness of the company regardless of the
reason of the employee.
Laws are in place to avoid scenarios where an employee will not be allowed by the employer to take a leave of
absence for reasons other than the usual sick leave and vacation leave. In this module, prepare to learn about
maternity leave, paternity leave, parental leave for solo parent, and battered woman leave.
