Managing Sickness Absence | proven strategies to reduce disruption

Frequent, unplanned absences can put excessive strain on already stretched teams, while long-term absences – especially those related to stress and mental health – can be equally disruptive and even trickier to manage. 

To address this, our sister company, WorkNest, hosted a webinar aimed at helping HR professionals minimise these absences, ensure compliance, and provide support to employees.

Their employment law experts guided attendees through four common absence scenarios, covering the correct processes to follow, when to involve Occupational Health, and how to fairly dismiss an employee if the situation doesn’t improve.
