The argument above states an analogy between measures adopted by Tobor Techonologies and those proposed by DIord Corp in reducing employee sick days, focusing on mental illnesses as a cause of absenteeism. However, the argument is not entirely logically convincing, while it ignores several certain crucial assumptions.
One of the first faulty assumptions that the argument makes is that the psychologist is successful in curing the mental illnesses of employees. The employees may or may not have benefitted from the psychologist's help. Also, it assumes that the reduction in number of sick days is solely due to the implementation program. It cannot be assumed so, when it is possible that there are other reasons causing a decrease in number of leaves. The number may have been reduced due to better health facilities, decreased occurences of diseases or decrease in casual leaves. On similar lines it assumes the mental illnesses to be the only reasons of decrease in employee attendance.
Sencondly, the argument assumes the working conditions to be the same in the two companies. The results in Tabor techonologies cannot be extrapolated to Dior Corp, unless we consider the working conditions in the companies which may or may not be suitabe for employees or have the same conditions. Similarly the reason for increase in sick days in Dior Corps may be other than mental illnesses, in which case, the insurance program and the counseling sessions won't work.
The last wrong assumption of with argument is that increase in attendance will increase in productivity. This does not consider the fact that productivity may not increase if other factors like employee negligence, strikes, shutdowns, technical difficulties may lead to a decrease in productivity.
The argument can thus be shown to have many unstated assumptions that weakens its claims and puts forth a weak statement. The argument could have been strengthened by giving a percentage of leaves in Dior Corps that were caused by mental illness, or the similarities in the working conditions that could endorse the implementation of same measures in both companies.
