2025-09-01 07:36:18 UTC

No, but I will agree with it under the fact that the reduction in absenteeism is related to the establishment of the HR department.3036536031 Xu Shizhuo

2025-09-01 07:36:21 UTC

Almost all employees in organizations which are investigated are as hardworking as others.

2025-09-01 07:37:09 UTC

HR department is the only reason for low absenteeism rate

HAO BINGJIE 3036531110

2025-09-01 07:37:28 UTC

This assumption is that it is the HR department that leads to employees not being late, but it could be due to the employees' own enthusiasm for work or the company's attendance system.

Mok Man Long 3036532798

2025-09-01 07:37:38 UTC

This statement assumes that the HR department can effectively manage the employees for going to work on time while employees in HR may free ride. Also, the main reason for the low absenteeism rate may be the punishment policies of the companies instead of the HR department.

2025-09-01 07:37:38 UTC

HR department put efforts in helping to decrease the absenteeism rate.

Yimin Li 3036533716

2025-09-01 07:37:54 UTC

HR departments tent to help companies reduce absenteeism.

2025-09-01 07:37:55 UTC

Having an HR department is sufficient to ensure low absenteeism.

YANG Shangru 3036537841

2025-09-01 07:38:01 UTC

Most organizations with an HR department have a low

absenteeism rate, (HR department can make an effort on workers' rate of attendance, with the HR department, fewer workers dare to absent) so all organizations should have an HR department.

2025-09-01 07:38:06 UTC

The HR department must control the attendance of the employees and deliver consequences to the absent employees (such as firing them). Therefore if there is an HR department in the organization, there will be less absent employees.

Jessie Wang 3036533510

2025-09-01 07:38:07 UTC

The hidden assumption would be: only HR department is responsible to set rules and manage the absenteeism.

Chen Qing 3036531548

2025-09-01 07:38:08 UTC

HR department will record the attendance

and punish those who are absent. so people will do well in attendance

Zhou yicheng 3036535867

2025-09-01 07:38:10 UTC

there is evidence that HR department helps reduce absenteeism in certain ways

2025-09-01 07:38:11 UTC

If organizations have a hr department, the absentee of rates of these organizations can be high.

2025-09-01 07:38:15 UTC

HR department will make some regulations about attendance , which will impact employees’ performance and Salary.

freyawong — 2025-09-01 07:38:15 UTC

Organizations without HR department have high absenteeism rate

3036533261 Ma Ziyu

2025-09-01 07:38:18 UTC

HR department can supervise the attendance records of employees and improve the attendance rate.

Gu Xiaoxia 3036579928

2025-09-01 07:38:18 UTC

all organisations tend to hire employees have a low absenteeism rate.

2025-09-01 07:38:20 UTC

No, I cannot agree to this statement. It is logical only by assuming that having a HR department is the main cause of the low absenteeism.

2025-09-01 07:38:29 UTC

Assumption: HRs would make rules on attendence and thus lower rates of absence.

Sheng Jialian 3036531756

2025-09-01 07:38:30 UTC

Because the HR department is the only department which will catch up on absenteeism.

2025-09-01 07:38:30 UTC

This opinion think the HR department is the direct reason of low absenteeism, but there are some other factors influence it

Fu Yuancen 3036558223

2025-09-01 07:38:33 UTC

assumption：These organizations' low absenteeism rate is because of their HR department, and low absenteeism rate is important to the organizations.

2025-09-01 07:38:35 UTC

the presence of an HR department is the direct cause of the low absenteeism

LU Xiaoying 3036533194

2025-09-01 07:38:39 UTC

HR department will check on work attendance everyday

2025-09-01 07:38:41 UTC

The assumption is that all HR departments of organizations should be useful and highly efficient during on-duty hours.

Yuan Qiwen 3036531055

2025-09-01 07:38:43 UTC

The hidden assumption is The HR department in every organization is responsible for monitoring employee attendance, ensuring that the process is efficient and effective.

dk9dmqnvrt — 2025-09-01 07:38:45 UTC

The assumption might be that the HR department will collect your information like if you are in office on time. This should have some punitive measures.

2025-09-01 07:38:45 UTC

assumption：The HR department can make the avsenteeism rate low.

urwinky — 2025-09-01 07:38:46 UTC

the only reason of lower the absenteeism rate is because the organizations have an HR department

YAO Ye 3036536586

2025-09-01 07:38:48 UTC

Because the HR department would normally take attendance for every employee and would penalise people who are absent. Hence, less employees would be absent or late for work.

Dai Ruirui 3036571079‬

2025-09-01 07:38:50 UTC

The absence rate is low because HR department manage the employees well.Without HR department,no other department or staff can manage the employees so well to make the absence rate low. And this department work for every company.

Shen Wen 3035828475

2025-09-01 07:38:50 UTC

The low absenteeism rate is caused by having an HR department, but not other factors like culture, pay, or management style. The same effect will occur in every organization, regardless of size, industry, or context.

2025-09-01 07:38:51 UTC

The existence of the HR department has strengthened the supervision of employees' attendance rates.

HUANG Yunjia 3036531718

2025-09-01 07:38:52 UTC

The hidden assumptions of this claim is that it assumes that the HR department do have a effect on the absenteeism rate, which ignores other possibilities of other causations and also it assumes that what works for the most organizations will work for all organizations, no matter the industry or the size of the organizations

2025-09-01 07:38:55 UTC

程璇 3036531627

Assume HR department is the only reason to lead to the low rate

Assume he is the decision maker with highest power that leads the company to success.

Assume our company has the same operational structure and business method as Apple.

1056855118 — 2025-09-01 07:38:58 UTC

Those HRs may usually investigate the absenteeism rate and link it with crews’ salaries

Jia Zexuan 3036531677

2025-09-01 07:39:09 UTC

Assumption: It simply give the idea that the only function of hr department is to lower the absenteeism rate.

Jiaqi Mao 3036559760

2025-09-01 07:39:10 UTC

Assuming that reducing absenteeism can only be achieved through the Human Resources department + assuming that all Human Resources departments are of consistent quality and function.

Tang Zihan3036531213

2025-09-01 07:39:11 UTC

HR department is the only reason that why company has a low absenteeism rate

Wu Yixi 3036555879

2025-09-01 07:39:13 UTC

HR department guarantees that there will be low absenteeism rate…

2025-09-01 07:39:18 UTC

For each of these claims, the hidden assumptions need to be verified before accepting the conclusions. This involves examining evidence for causality, assessing relevance to the specific context, and considering alternative explanations. By doing so, we can make more informed and rational decisions rather than relying on potentially flawed reasoning.

2025-09-01 07:39:23 UTC

No, the method will be effective only when the HR can guarantee that they can strongly supervisor the members.

Qu Zhiming

2025-09-01 07:39:24 UTC

Most organizations with an HR department have a low absenteeism rate, （if the HR is strict with the attendance rate and the department is effective)so all organizations should have an HR department.

all HR department staffs work efficiently.

2025-09-01 07:39:27 UTC

ZHANG Lu(waiting list) 3036537827

2025-09-01 07:39:29 UTC

The presence of an HR department is the direct and primary cause of the low absenteeism rate.

Feng Sijie 3036568515

728550193 — 2025-09-01 07:39:33 UTC

The HR department counts the number of absent employees every day, and those who are absent will be subject to penalties such as salary deductions.

Chen Yawen 3036533106

2025-09-01 07:39:35 UTC

WRONG. The presence of an HR department directly causes low absenteeism (rather than merely being correlated)

Low absenteeism may be caused by other factors (e.g., good pay, positive culture). The HR department might be a correlate or result—not a cause. Also, "most" does not imply "all."

Zhu Lingxin No.3036531043

2025-09-01 07:39:40 UTC

The HR department will monitor employee attendance and evaluate their performance.

2025-09-01 07:39:42 UTC

assumption: members in that organization obey the rules of HR.

2025-09-01 07:39:43 UTC

1. I will agree under the fact that the HR department is efficient. Because it will dismiss employees with a high absenteeism rate.

CHENG Zhuo 3036558788

zhuocheng0107 — 2025-09-01 07:39:44 UTC

Most organizations with an HR department have a low absenteeism rate, so all organizations should have an HR department.

2025-09-01 07:39:45 UTC

Assumption: The HR department is the direct and sole cause of low absenteeism rates.

Assumption

2025-09-01 07:39:46 UTC

Hiden assumption ：The hr

Department really impact the attendance rate.

LIU ZHIJUN 3036568462

2025-09-01 07:39:58 UTC

The attendance rate of employees may be linked to the salary level of the HR department. Therefore, the employees of the HR department will strengthen the management of employee attendance. Thus, the company needs to have an HR department.

pws8qcch92 — 2025-09-01 07:39:59 UTC

The absenteeism rate is not entirely determined by the HR department.

SUN Yidan 303657110

sydney0716 — 2025-09-01 07:40:00 UTC

HR department can monitor the attendance rate of other departments in the company.

Assumption

2025-09-01 07:40:08 UTC

HR department is positively relevant to the attendance of organization.

KOU Jieyao 3036556213

koujieyao — 2025-09-01 07:40:10 UTC

it is not all because of the hr department

Xu Tianao 3036530207

2025-09-01 07:40:12 UTC

HR department enables a company to manage its talents better so that the absenteeism rate is low, which may be considered the only reason of such phenomenom.

MA Yunyao 3036531328

2025-09-01 07:40:14 UTC

The assumption is that an HR department directly causes low absenteeism and that this solution is universally applicable to all organizations, ignoring other potential factors and differing contexts.

wusiyuan1108 — 2025-09-01 07:40:18 UTC

I agree with the conclusion，but I don't believe that low absenteesim rate is the only reason.

2025-09-01 07:40:20 UTC

An HR department is the only or best way to achieve low absenteeism and there is no superior alternative exist.

keer fang 3036533869

2025-09-01 07:40:30 UTC

The low absenteeism rate is directly caused by the existence of the HR department, rather than just being correlated with it. It assumes HR is the cause, ignoring other possible factors e.g., great company culture, that could lead to both low absenteeism and the presence of an HR department.

Lyu Danyu 3036530922

2025-09-01 07:40:43 UTC

There’s an assumption that only the HR department can reduce the absenteeism rate.

HUANG Jiahao 3036530532

2025-09-01 07:40:46 UTC

Most organizations with an HR department have a low absenteeism rate. (They have a low absenteeism rate because the HR department directly reduces absenteeism through policies, monitoring, and support; it’s not mainly due to other factors like industry or company size. Because HR is the cause, if other organizations set up an HR department, their absenteeism will also drop.) Consequently, all organizations should have an HR department.

Bai Peilong

2025-09-01 07:40:53 UTC

No.I believe HR department can help to reduce the absenteeism. But it is not necessary if the employees are hardworking and self motivated.

Deng bowen 3036533417

2025-09-01 07:41:02 UTC

No, there maybe also have some problem that Hr department have low efficiency rate, they can’t fully control or supervise the all employees.

Assumption

2025-09-01 07:41:04 UTC

Most organizations with an HR department have a low absenteeism rate, and if the HR department has low efficiency working remotely but high efficiency working in person, so all organizations should have an HR department.

2025-09-01 07:41:28 UTC

The existence of the human resources department directly causes low absenteeism rates, while overlooking the influence of other factors.

FAN Yuan3036533302

fiafan0329 — 2025-09-01 07:41:39 UTC

HR oversees attendance management, which impacts remuneration, thereby effectively boosting attendance rates.

2025-09-01 07:42:09 UTC

HR department can help company to confirm the absenteeism rate of each employee, it can make employees realize that they can not be absent from work.

Qian Cheng 3036531603

2025-09-01 07:42:15 UTC

The existence of the human resources department is to control the absenteeism rate, so I agree that it is effective.

Siqiu Ji 3036533364

jisiqiu — 2025-09-01 07:42:17 UTC

OpenAI is a very successful organization and the success of an organization is directly caused by its leader's leadership, therefore, Sam Altman must have been a great leader.

3478236346 — 2025-09-01 07:42:31 UTC

The existence of the human resources department can strengthen the management of employee attendance, make employees have a better attendance rate, and help the company develop.

Jiayi Yu 3036533209

u3653320 — 2025-09-01 07:43:57 UTC

The presence or absence of an HR department is the only influence factor to absenteeism rate.

Lei Xinyi 3036533704

2025-09-01 07:44:13 UTC

It assumes that because most organizations with HR departments have low absenteeism, this will be true for every organization. In fact, it’s wrong

1243485088 — 2025-09-01 07:45:13 UTC

1. Setting an HR department is an effective way to raise the absenteeism rate.

2. An organisation can not be successful without a great leader.

3. The way which Steve Jobs run his company maybe still works on our company that we can also cut budget for marketing research.

Xian Zhenghua 3036530764

2025-09-01 07:45:57 UTC

The argument assumes that having an HR department is necessary for low absenteeism. However, low absenteeism might be achieved through other ways, such as effective management practices, flexible work arrangements, or high employee engagement—without a dedicated HR department.

FAN Yuan3036533302

fiafan0329 — 2025-09-01 07:46:07 UTC

Only HR can reduce absenteeism.

liduo4399 — 2025-09-01 07:47:55 UTC

if organizations have an HR department, they can have a low absenteesism which means more staff are willing to attend on time.
