Color-Coded System

The Bradford Factor utilises a color-coded system—green, amber, and red—to categorise and represent the severity of employee absence patterns. This visual approach makes it easy for employees and managers to quickly assess the impact of absenteeism.

  • Green: Low impact - Indicates sporadic or infrequent absences.
  • Amber: Moderate impact - Suggests a pattern of repeated absences.
  • Red: High impact - Indicates frequent or extended absences that may need immediate attention.

Employee Empowerment

Employees can actively monitor their sickness absence through the Bradford Factor. The color-coded system provides a clear and accessible way for individuals to understand the impact of their leave patterns on the overall work environment.
