Absence Management Training

Our 1-day Absence Management Training Course is designed to provide HR staff, line managers, and team leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively manage and reduce absenteeism in the workplace. In the UK, companies can suffer financial and time-related losses due to poor management of employee absenteeism and sickness. By effectively managing absence, organizations can improve staff motivation and reduce the financial burden of low attendance.

This course will cover how to:

• Deal with persistent offenders to reduce employee absences.
• Identify and manage long-term and short-term absences.
• Understand the impact of absences on the business and the associated costs.
• Conduct professional return-to-work interviews.
• Identify up-to-date policies and procedures for staff absences.

The objectives of the course can be customized to meet your specific needs, or we can design and deliver a fully bespoke training solution. The course will cover:

• An overview of workplace absences, including the causes and costs to the organization.
• The role of the line manager in managing absences, including key behaviours and the legislative framework.
• An overview of the absence process, including best practices for managing short- and long-term absences.
• The importance of return-to-work interviews for employees and how to conduct successful ones.
• The process for dismissal in cases of persistent absenteeism.
