Managing Unauthorised / Sickness Absence

Sickness absence costs the UK business economy billions of pounds per year. The cost to individual companies is also very substantial, in terms of loss of productivity, adverse quality, and the other key performance indicators that are used to measure overall effectiveness. It is imperative those organisations have a robust sickness absence procedure, and all persons with managerial / supervisory responsibility for others, are fully trained in the application of such and they operate within current employment law. Recent studies have shown that a pro-active approach is the most cost effective way of managing unauthorised / sickness absence. This training course concentrates on adopting pro-active techniques and methods when managing sickness absence. All people with managerial / supervisory responsibility for monitoring and managing unauthorised / sickness absence, will benefit from attending this course
