Get a QuoteThe Importance of Sickness Absence Management Training
Sickness absence is a fact of working life, and one of sickness absence management's main purposes is to properly support people who are away from work or who have just returned. It is also a way to ensure the absence does not damage business.
Absence, especially if it is regular or prolonged, can have an effect on the productivity of the team and organisation as a whole. This has to be managed with great sensitivity and fairness to everyone involved. Managers who have received training is this area may be more likely to handle the situation effectively and ensure a good outcome.
