The formula to calculate the Bradford Factor (BF) is:
\[ BF = S^2 \times D \]
Where:
The Bradford Factor is a measure used to quantify the impact of employee absences on an organization. It is calculated by squaring the number of different absences and then multiplying by the total number of days of absence. This value helps organizations identify patterns of frequent short-term absences, which can be more disruptive than longer-term absences.
Let's say the total number of different absences (S) is 3, and the total number of days of absence (D) is 10. Using the formula:
\[ BF = 3^2 \times 10 = 90 \]
So, the Bradford Factor (BF) is 90.
