<p>阿斯达正在策划对病假进行打击，以此作为重振努力的新尝试。</p>
<p>这家陷入困境的超市连锁店制定了更严格的纪律规则，作为持续咨询的一部分，提高了员工因连续病假而被解雇的可能性。</p>
<p>目前，缺勤率达到 3% 或以上的员工会被标记进行审查，随后会经历两个非正式阶段，管理层才会启动正式的纪律程序。</p>
<p>根据现行规则，员工的缺勤记录在六个月后会被重置。</p>
<p>然而，阿斯达现在希望将这一期限延长至 12 个月，增加员工在逐步升级的纪律程序下受到惩罚的可能性，这最终可能导致有人被解雇。</p>
<p>这项咨询在阿斯达的员工中引发了恐慌，包括那些有心理健康问题和残疾的员工。</p>
<p>目前尚未在咨询过程中做出任何改变，这可能会影响到超过 150,000 名员工，遍布 1,200 家门店。</p>
<p>一位消息人士表示：“实际上，这意味着你会在请病假时三思而后行，因为你将面临比以前更快的纪律处分。”</p>
<p>另一位消息人士表示，这是阿斯达试图在员工士气已经低落的情况下 “给人施加压力”。</p>
<p>“很多人都担心失去工作，” 一名员工说。“在我看来，这是一个糟糕的决定。”</p>
<p>这正值阿斯达急于进行业务改革之际。</p>
<p>零售商的执行主席艾伦·莱顿去年被任命，负责监督这次复兴尝试，尽管阿斯达在食品市场的份额最近降至 11.6% 的历史低点。</p>
<p>这一数字低于 2021 年的 14.6%，当时阿斯达被私募股权公司 TDR Capital 及 Mohsin 和 Zuber Issa 以 68 亿英镑的债务交易收购。</p>
<p>多年的成本削减导致公司业绩急剧下滑，包括员工工时的激进减少和数百个职位的裁撤。</p>
<p>莱顿先生此后发誓要恢复工时，尽管一些人会将这次打击视为降低成本的尝试——因为员工出于对惩罚的恐惧将不太可能请病假。</p>
<p>阿斯达发言人表示：“我们正在与选举产生的同事代表团体进行咨询，提出调整我们的短期缺勤政策的建议。</p>
<p>“该提案处于早期阶段，并已作为咨询过程的一部分与这些团体保密共享。尚未做出任何决定，也未实施任何变更。”</p>

<p>阿斯达正在考虑在其扭转战略中对病假实施更严格的纪律规则。提议的变化可能会将员工缺勤的审查期从六个月延长至十二个月，从而增加纪律处分的风险。这一举措引发了阿斯达员工的担忧，尤其是那些有心理健康问题和残疾的员工。目前咨询仍在进行中，尚未做出最终决定。这些变化是为了振兴这家面临困境的超市连锁店，该连锁店的市场份额和业绩均出现下滑</p>
