Managing Sickness Absence | proven strategies to reduce disruption
Frequent, unplanned absences can put excessive strain on already stretched teams, while long-term absences – especially those related to stress and mental health – can be equally disruptive and even trickier to manage. So, how do you minimise these absences, maintain compliance, and make sure you’re supporting your employees?
In this one-hour webinar, WorkNest’s legal and HR experts will guide you through four common absence scenarios. You’ll learn the correct processes to follow, when to involve Occupational Health, and how to fairly dismiss an employee if the situation doesn’t improve.
