The unit manager would have likely discussed the negative impact absenteeism has on patient care and quality standards. A high level of employee morale and little effect on existing staff are not likely to be discussed as they are not directly related to the problem of absenteeism. While replacement staff may have experience, they still require supervision and training specific to the unit.
