3. Managing Absence from Work
Absence from work is a problem for many organisations and can affect productivity, morale and flexibility. It can also be a burden on management time and a significant cost to the organisation through down time (that is time when machinery is not being used), sickness payments, paying temporary replacement staff and overtime payments to cover absent employees.
This seminar, aimed at small businesses, will enable participants to:
- distinguish between different types and causes of absence
- understand how to manage and measure absence from work
- reduce absence levels by using appropriate tools
- have an understanding of the legal framework affecting the management of absence
Duration: Approximately 2.5 hours.
