What is Employee Ghosting?

In the context of HR, employee ghosting refers to a situation where an employee abruptly ceases communication and disappears from their job without explanation or warning. This can happen at various stages of employment, including:

• During the Hiring Process: A candidate might ghost after an initial interview, never showing up for subsequent ones or failing to respond to an offer letter.
• After Accepting a Job: A new hire might not show up for their first day or stop coming to work after a short period, with no prior notice.
• During Employment: An existing employee could simply stop showing up to work or become uncontactable.
