Whether it is staff who have a poor sickness record due to sporadic days off sick here and there or someone on long-term sick, such absences all have an impact on a business, on productivity and sometimes on the morale and attitude of other staff.

This practical and “can-do” training will use hand-outs, sample letters and real examples:

• Provide practical tips and guidance to minimise avoidable absence
• Give clear advice and techniques for tackling repeat short-term absences
• Explain the process for handling long-term absence, including dismissing fairly when appropriate
• Look at alternatives to the usual sickness absence processes
