E-Books →Managing Sickness Absence

The pandemic has helped put a spotlight on the importance of a well-structured framework for managing sickness absence: one that supports the health needs of employees and enables firm action if staff try to take advantage. Taking the time to monitor and measure sickness absence should help identify not only those few employees who are prone to 'pulling a sickie' but also bigger patterns or problems within the workforce.
Central to the sickness absence framework are some basic tools and principles which are fundamental to getting it right.
This book is an in-depth look at managing the problems of short-term, intermittent and long-term absence. It examines:-
