      Absenteeism

      What’s increasing every year, causing headaches for employers and costing a fortune? Sick leave, of course. But it’s not something you have to passively accept. An emphasis on wellbeing and a positive, sustainable approach to absenteeism can turn the tide. There’s just one condition: managers, HR and employees must work together. Need help with that? Join forces with a specialist like Mensura!

      The importance of an effective absenteeism policy

      A positive long-term absenteeism policy … 

      • Keeps your absenteeism costs under control. 

      • Keeps your employees healthy, motivated and productive in the long term 

      • Creates an engaged and appreciative team atmosphere through open communication 

      • Helps your absent employees return to the workplace 

      • Supports your managers in making fitness for work a subject for discussion 

      • Ensures that you meet your legal obligations 

      Sounds great, but isn’t it time-consuming? It is, but the good news is that you’re not on your own. At Mensura, we help organisations of all sizes every day to develop a more effective approach to absenteeism that’s fully tailored to their needs. From assessment to aftercare – together we can ensure a healthy workplace where your employees feel happy.
