Management of Sickness Absence

Management of Sickness Absence

It is important for employees to return to work as soon as possible following sickness absence. Sickness absence has a detrimental effect on the productivity and competitiveness of your business and the health and well-being of your employees. The salary costs for the absentee employee along with the costs of replacement staff and a possible reduced quality of service have to be considered. Efficient and objective management of individuals with sickness absence is vital for all organisations.
