Turned Up and Tuned In: A manager’s guide to maximising staff attendance

The Turned Up and Tuned In model

The Turned Up and Tuned In model identifies the influences on workplace attendance, a number of which occur at the individual level and are largely beyond the control of the organisation.

The model shows where organisations and managers should focus their attention to impact on motivation to attend. Individuals also have certain responsibilities in managing their own attendance.
