The impact of employees incurring unacceptable levels of sick absence can be felt by all organisations in terms of failure to meet budgetary targets, productivity levels, staff morale and staff retention. This course will enable delegates to tackle absence issues using the correct procedures and will provide sound practical and pragmatic advice.
Benefits to your organisation
Having an awareness of the legislative context when dealing with absence management can protect your organisation from facing substantial losses in Employment Tribunals. Research shows that fair and clear procedures enhance the employer/employee relationship and handling absence consistently will enable managers to improve absence levels in their own departments. This course can be tailored to suit the needs of your company and to tackle the issues that are important for your managers.
