Managing Absence Training

Absence costs UK industry millions of pounds each year and has a huge impact on business operations when people take time of sick.  It can be hard to tell whether absence is genuine or if there is another reason behind it.  In many cases, we manage the absence after it has happened, but is there a way to be more proactive about it?
Attending one of our Managing Absence Training Courses will introduce you to some proactive ways of reducing absence in the first place, but should it happen we will also introduce you to ways of managing the employees absence more effectively.  Looking at return to work interviews and drivers of absence should help you to reduce the amount of absence in the business.
We offer these courses at convenient places across the country, or if you are looking for a course for your organisation, we can come to you and deliver the course at your place, making it more aligned to the needs that you have.


Managing Absence Training Course Overview Locations
Course Aims

It’s reported that ill health costs the UK economy in excess of £100 billion per year. Paying sick pay, loss of productivity, covering long term sick and recruitment costs all add up.

Most sickness is genuine where the people need to take time off; however, some sickness may not be all of that genuine. It seems easier and easier to get a sick note today, in fact some websites even sell them. Why do people want to take time off work when they aren’t genuinely sick? Declined holidays, bullying and lack of motivation are just a few reasons.

Many organisations deal with sickness after it happens using return to work interviews and their sickness policy, but is there another approach?

In this course we look at Managing Attendance rather than absence. This means being proactive when managing sickness. So, you may ask the question how can this be done?

The session is very interactive with lots of discussion, role-play scenarios and an action planning session.

Prior to the session you will receive detailed joining instruction that highlight the learning objectives and what you need to do to prepare. You will also leave the course with an action plan that details how you will transfer the learning back to your organisation.

By the end of the session, attendees will:

  • Understand the importance of managing attendance
  • Recognise the causes of absence
  • Clarify the role of the line manager in managing absence
  • Recognise the signs that may indicate intended absence
  • Be familiar with the policy and process.
