Assam: Awareness workshop for reducing absenteeism held at Khowang Tea Estate

A CORRESPONDENT

DIBRUGARH: An awareness workshop for reducing absenteeism was organized by ABITA, ACMS, and the management of Khowang and Bhamun tea estates at the Khowang Tea Estate today. Near about 60 chronic absentees, line chowkidar, sirdars, and ACMS garden office bearers were called to attend the workshop.

The financial losses that the absenting workers have suffered in the form of PF, gratuity, pension, bonus, maternity benefits, etc. apart from wage-loss & fringe benefits as a result of absenteeism were elaborately explained to these workers with examples given jointly by management, ABITA & ACMS. It is expected that the workshop will positively influence the workers to be more regular in work.

Similar workshops were held in the recent past at Maud, Desam, and Greenwood tea estates. Given the ill effects of absenteeism on the tea gardens and workforce, ABITA  will continue to organize these awareness workshops  in other estates in the Brahmaputra Valley in collaboration with ACMS.
