The benefits of Absence Management
The benefits of having an Absence Management
For employees with health issues, our Absence Management strategy is to support employees to stay in work, return to work or address presenteeism (attending work when you’re ill).
Having an established Absence Management system in place is essential for most businesses. It means fewer claims for work-related absence, the opportunity to amend job roles to support early return, and change of role. This increases productivity while providing vital support for employees who need it.
For employees with health issues, Absence Management supports them to stay in work, return to work, or address presenteeism (attending work when you’re ill). Our programmes enable decisions to be made about which clear path best supports employees in the workplace or those returning to work. Absence management programmes are delivered remotely via phone or video call, or face to face either at one of our clinics or onsite as part of a blocked clinic (half or full day).
Types of absence – there are a variety of reasons why people might take time off work:
- Short or long-term sickness
- Other approved absences such as annual leave, maternity, paternity, adoption, or parental leave; time off for public or trade union duties, or to care for dependents; compassionate leave; educational leave
- Unauthorised absence or consistent lateness
The impact on your business – effects on businesses of employees being absent include:
- Reduced overall productivity
- Increased work and stress for colleagues
- Possible loss of reputation among key stakeholders
- Unnecessary and costly recruitment
- Greater risk of claims and the cost of litigation
Preventing high absenteeism within your organisation brings high morale, a happy and healthy workforce and positive commercial benefit.
