Staff Didn’t Show Up? Here’s What to Do (Without Losing Control)

It’s 8:30 AM.
You’re opening your shop, preparing for visitors, or relying on your househelp…
But your staff is missing. No call. No update. No explanation.

What now?

This happens every day to employers across Kenya. And without a plan, it ruins your day — or worse, your business.

Let’s talk about how to handle no-shows professionally and recover fast.


🚩 Why Staff Disappear Without Notice

  • Fear of confrontation after a mistake
  • Lack of structure or contracts
  • Burnout or personal emergencies
  • Casual culture: “I’ll just explain tomorrow”
  • No consequences for past absences

What to Do Immediately

1. Try to Contact Them
Don’t assume malice. They could be sick, stuck, or in trouble.

2. Log the Absence
Write it down: date, time, role, and whether they responded. Documentation matters.

3. Don’t Panic — Fill the Gap Fast
Use backups, temp workers, or restructure duties for the day.

4. Speak Calmly If/When They Return
Ask what happened. If it’s repeated behavior, move to a warning or formal exit.
