MANAGING SICKNESS Absence

This is one of the most challenging tasks of a manager or supervisor.  To hold employees to account for their absence whilst also being mindful of obligations relating to health and potential disabilities.  This course will provide individuals with the relevant knowledge and soft skills to address such difficult topics with members of their teams and to help and assist them where appropriate to do so whilst being mindful of the effect that their absence has on their colleagues and the performance of the business.
