Workshop: Illness-related absenteeism: Dos and don’ts

Absenteeism can take various forms. All companies experience problems caused by non-attendance. Gaining proper insight into the causes of absenteeism is the very first step in developing a structured approach toward short and long-term absenteeism. Prevention measures can then be defined in consultation with the HR department, the internal and external departments for prevention and protection in the workplace, and direct supervisors. This will allow your organisation to move towards an active attendance policy, resulting in reduced rates of illness-related absenteeism.
