A Real-World Approach to Absence Measurement and Management

Workplace absence, in its many forms, is the most persistent problem affecting productivity, profitability, and competitiveness. The challenge is that it is not always clear-cut and therefore, dealing with staff that exhibit a poor work/attendance culture will test the competence of the line manager and the HR practitioner.

This programme has been developed to highlight practical strategies management should employ to systematically address, manage and reduce persistent absenteeism, presenteeism, and late coming.

 

TOPICS TO BE COVERED

• Facts and myths about persistent absenteeism, presenteeism and lateness
• Measurement tools
• The role and responsibility of line management
• Communication with workers- The do's and dont's
• Strategies for controlling and minimising its effects
• Industrial relations guidelines when treating with persistent absenteeism, presenteeism, and lateness
• Applying management rights and policies to address chronic lateness and absenteeism issues

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This session is ideal for human resource professionals, industrial relations practitioners, small business owners, companies with minimal HR support, new HR staff, frontline supervisors, or any organisation grappling with excessive absences.
