Is someone in the team repeatedly absent?
Do they seem reluctant to come to work?
Is it having a knock-on effect on the rest of the team and the business as a whole?
Poor productivity and days off sick are costing us a staggering amount of money. According to the survey, sickness-related absences and presenteeism are costing the UK economy £77.5 billion a year. Figures taken from the 2017 Britain’s Healthiest Workplace survey has found that employees lose an average of 30.4 working days a year due to sickness, or illness-related underperformance.
While it might be a free day off from work for the employee, absences carry hidden costs that can affect a company’s productivity and revenue.
At Gravitate HR we have over 30 years worth of experience including dealing with absenteeism. Whether it’s a business issue or relates to particular individuals, we can advise, support and work with you to deal with the situation.
We can also work with you to develop and implement attendance policies and absence management procedures to ensure that everyone in the business is aware of the policy and can access it.
