Agency-Employment-Deviation from Route (ADR) is an issue that arises when an employee deviates from their normal route or process in order to complete a work task. ADR can be caused by a variety of factors such as lack of knowledge or understanding, conflicting instructions from supervisors, improper procedures, inadequate communication, or inadequate resources. It can also be caused by an employee’s own personal choice or preference. There are three main types of ADR: 1. Unauthorized Deviation: This occurs when an employee deviates from their normal route or process without permission from their employer. This type of deviation can be intentional or unintentional. 2. Unnecessary Deviation: This occurs when an employee deviates from their normal route or process despite there being an available alternative. 3. Excessive Deviation: This occurs when an employee deviates from their normal route or process to an excessive degree, resulting in an unreasonable amount of time taken to complete the work task. ADR can be a serious issue as it can lead to lower productivity, increased costs, and safety risks. Employers should take steps to ensure that their employees are following the correct routes and processes to minimize the risks associated with ADR.
