CBI latest absence survey in 2011 reported that the UK economy lost 190 million working days to absence. The 190 million days cost employers £17billion.
In our experience, 81% of absence episodes are 7 days or less. Our occupational partners tell us that clinical intervention is ineffective in reducing the length of these absences.
So 81% of absence management is about Managers & how they manage absence.
Understanding the relevance of this one fact could in itself be the KEY to improving your bottom line. On the 9th May, in conjunction with the IOD our panel of experts will explain why successfully tackling the cost of unplanned absence is the responsibility of employers and their managers. They will also share with you thought provoking and challenging facts, knowledge & experiences to help you make a positive impact on your bottom line.
