Statistics show that UK employees call in sick more than 6 days every year, resulting in a whopping 131 million days lost through absences due to sickness or injury. As an employer, it is vital that you understand how to keep absenteeism to a minimum. Of course, there are times when staff members are genuinely unable to attend work. That’s why it’s also important to ensure the process is handled correctly, and legally, once they return or should any difficulties arise. While it is impossible to completely remove this problem, there are actually some easy and efficient ways to minimise workplace absenteeism and, while the legalities may seem complicated, there are ways to make the process much easier.
