Lucy Bristow Appointments and Veale Wasbrough Lawyers invite you to a FREE seminar
Levels of absenteeism are on the rise and can have a profound impact on businesses of all sizes. The 2007 Absence Management survey, carried out by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, found that absence as a whole is on the rise for the first time in two years, while the Confederation of British Industry estimates that the taking of ‘sickies’ cost the UK economy £13.4bn in 2006.
Reasons for absenteeism can vary from long term sickness to problems with childcare arrangements and this seminar will provide an opportunity to consider practical and legal solutions available to businesses to assist with absence management. Topics for discussion will include handling employee requests for flexible working hours and helping employees back to work following long periods of sickness.
