Group benefits have never been more important to employees.

Job abandonment is a situation in which an employee stops showing up for work without giving an employer any notice. This is an annoying problem that has the potential to temporarily cripple a workplace. Assuming that an employee has abandoned the job can garner legal consequences if it actually turns out that the employee had a legitimate reason for not showing up or contacting the workplace, however.

In the past, there was the boss and the employee. Annual reviews were one-on-one (we know how well those worked out…) and goals were defined on an individual basis. In fact, almost everything about performance management was focused on individual employees.
