Accurate monitoring and measurement and the use of absence triggers and targets are key to the effective management of employee absence. 

 

We advise you on how to set up effective absence management systems and support you in specific cases, concerning both short- and long-term absences, and getting people back to work. 

 

Managing employee absence effectively by conducting return-to-work interviews and requiring employees to provide information on sickness absence will enable line managers to handle discussions with employees sensitively, with the aim of preventing further periods of absence.  Regular absence management can allow the employer to identify trends and explore the underlying causes of sickness absence.
