Training: Reduce Absence Permanently
You get that phone call, “I won’t be in today”. The impact on you and the team is felt immediately but you feel trapped. Surely if they’re sick, they’re sick - there is nothing you can do about it?
Yes, people will be sick. We can’t eradicate unplanned absences completely, but we can reduce them.
How sick is too sick? What makes someone call in sick? When we explore these questions we can start to look at how to reduce the triggers for someone to make that call.
Knowledge is power, so understanding why people are absent is crucial to managing and reducing excessive absence. Individuals do have a number of statutory rights to time off which means that failing to understand these could result in an employment tribunal. When you know what people are entitled to, you can also set the limits and manage it.
What you’ll learn:
- What really causes absence
- How to improve attendance
- How to investigate and manage absence
- The role of the statement of Fitness for Work, Doctors reports and Occupational Health
- How to access the support of Occupational Health
Equip your managers with the skills to reduce absence and avoid costly employment tribunals.
