Absence management
Health in the workplace can have a substantial impact on a company's profitability, whilst employee absence is a growing problem in the UK workplace and one that is likely to place an increasing financial burden on British industry.
Sickness absence - and an employer's reaction to it - can have a serious impact on both profitability and staff morale. Our experience has shown that many employers are unaware of the true level of absence amongst their staff, and fewer still take a proactive role in trying to address the problem.
Our approach is to review the existing position and help calculate the cost of sickness absence to a business. Once this has been identified, we can advise on a number of solutions to help manage the effects of health in the workplace. This can include:
- A fully outsourced absence system.
- An internal tool to assist line managers in dealing with absence.
- Risk management, including pre-employment and on-going healthcare screening.
- Private health cover.
- Absence management, including ill-health assessment and reporting.
- Employee Assistance Programmes.
