Absence and Stress Management
Introduction:
Absence costs the average employer eight working days per employee each year. These absences and their effect on operating costs and productivity are a concern for most organisations. In this workshop we provide guidance on best practice in reducing levels of absenteeism. We also take you through the process of identifying patterns of absence, as well as back to work interviews, occupational health and when to use disciplinary procedures. It will also provide an understanding of how to manage and minimise the stress we experience in our professional and personal lives.
