Use this Bradford Factor Calculator to quickly assess the impact of employee absences on your organization. This tool is designed for HR professionals and managers to efficiently manage absenteeism.
All calculations are based strictly on the Bradford Factor formula, widely recognized in HR management for evaluating the impact of employee absences.
Bradford Factor Formula: B = S² × D
Consider an employee who has been absent 3 times for a total of 12 days. The Bradford Factor score is calculated as follows:
B = 3² × 12 = 108
The Bradford Factor is a formula that quantifies employee absenteeism and its impact on a business.
It helps organizations identify absenteeism patterns and manage them effectively.
Higher scores indicate frequent short-term absences, which are often more disruptive than occasional long-term absences.
Scores under 50 are generally considered low, while scores over 200 might require HR intervention.
It is best used for unplanned short-term absences, not long-term or planned leave.
