Sickness AbsenceDo you have a policy for managing sickness absence? Do you know how much sickness absence is costing your company?
Long-term absence is bad for individual morale and self-esteem. It can make it much harder for the employee to return to work, and can lead to long-term unemployment.
A good policy can dramatically reduce the levels and the costs of sickness absence. In many cases sickness absence is the result of a lack of understanding of the nature of the illness. Employees and employers may not realise that with just a few minor adjustments to the work, many individuals can return after days rather than months off sick, and continue to work while they recover from illness or injury.
