Absence Management

Employee absence is a headache for any business and if left unmanaged can have massive consequences. Not only does employee absence have a financial cost to the business, but it can also impact productivity, staff morale and quality of work among other factors.

Well trained management can allow you to minimise the impact by reducing absence levels, alleviating the stress levels of other staff who are required to cover the absences and protect your business against claims such as disability discrimination.

• Advise you on how to deal with long term absences and the complexities of employees who are protected under the Disability Discrimination Act.
• Guide managers through absence management processes.
• Support you to identify absence trends, and carry out review meetings and return to work interviews.

• Provide advice on reasonable adjustments and implementation.
• Guide and support your business through the process involved when dismissing an employee due to their illness and capability.
• Develop a Health and Wellbeing strategy that supports employees to come to work.
