Managing absence at work (England & Wales)- digital event

This 3 hour digital event will update you on the law relating to workplace absence and provide you with practical management techniques to help improve attendance in your workplace.
Business need

Employee absenteeism can put significant strain on a business in terms of costs. It can also place an additional burden on colleagues, resulting in low morale and loss of productivity.

Having an attendance policy will help employees understand the standards that are expected of them. It will help managers deal with absence issues in a fair and consistent way and tackle underlying problems such a work life balance, conflict at work or lack of adequate training.

A fair and robust policy which balances workplace standards with employee health and wellbeing can help to reduce absence, increase productivity and improve employee retention.

Delivered by Zoom, this event will provide you with best practice skills and techniques to confidently and effectively manage absence in your workplace.

All delegates will receive an electronic certificate of attendance for their participation in the training.
