Feedback from previous delegates:

“This helped me refine and improve my management skills”

“Brilliant to attend a workshop where real life scenarios were used to allow structured and relevant learning”

Absence creates huge issues for businesses – not just in terms of lower productivity, but in terms of cost which cannot be recovered, and the time spent on dealing with employees who have high levels of absence.  Increasingly employers want to have robust procedures in place which ensure that staff do not take advantage – but it is important that this is done fairly and consistently.

This workshop will provide delegates with all the knowledge and tools they need to feel more confident when handling absence. With step-by-step guidelines and clear, easy-to-follow materials, delegates will learn how to manage each step of the absence process.

The workshop covers the following:

• Understand the real cost of absence to an organisation
• Receive practical guidance on reducing absence through early management intervention
• Have a clear understanding of the difference between short and long term absence and the different approaches to take with each
• Understand the need to conduct and how to conduct return to work interviews
• Receive guidance on when to escalate absence issues to disciplinary stage and how to handle the subsequent disciplinary meeting
• Be able to determine when absence is a disability and how to deal with absence within the context of discrimination

Who is it for?
Anyone with responsibility for managing absence in the workplace – either in a managerial capacity or as part of an HR team.

Price: £225 + VAT, per person. Time: 10.00am – 16.00pm.
