Managing Sickness Absence

Rutland House, 148 Edmund Street, Birmingham, B3 2JR

Sickness absence is one of those HR issues that never seems to go away!

The latest CIPD Absence Management Survey confirms that sickness remains a big issue for all employers. Managing it is vital in the current climate.

At our March Employment Workshop we will use a DVD clip featuring our fictional HR Manager to explore:

• strategies for reducing sickness absence, including the Government’s proposals to change the current system;
• how to balance your legal obligations while managing the needs of the business;
• reasonable adjustments – your obligations under the Equality Act 2010;
• recent case law developments; and
• what to include in your employment policies and contracts.

This workshop is suitable for line managers as well as HR Professionals. It will include an opportunity to ask questions of our Employment Law specialists and to share experiences with others.
