Absence Management Training

High levels of employee absence result in significant costs to any organisation. Absence can have a serious impact on productivity, performance and the level of service to customers.

It also increases the pressure on those staff who are at work, leading to low morale, stress and potentially even higher levels of absence.

There are also direct cost implications for the organisation including increased overtime costs or the use of agency staff. It is therefore essential that managers control and minimise absence, at the same time ensuring appropriate support for employees.

Through a combination of theory, practical exercises and case studies this one-day course will help you to achieve this by focusing on how to manage the different types of absence effectively.
