Why is absenteeism important?
|
-
According to the latest CBI absence survey, absence cost the UK economy £12.2 billion in 2004, £1.7 billion of which was due to staff taking 'sickies' rather than absence from genuine ill health.
-
A total of 6.8 days were lost per employee. Days lost across the UK economy totalled 168 million.
-
By reducing the absenteeism rate by just 1 day per employee, organisations can boost their productivity, improve morale, and improve their bottom line.

|
The FACTS procedure provides managers with a clear and effective structure to conduct 'Welcome Back Meetings' with absent members of staff. The resource provides full instructions on conduciting the a 'Welcome Back Meeting', and reinforces the learning with three films showing a manager using the procedure with members of his staff.

Before you conduct a Welcome Back Meeting, look through your records to understand the nature and frequency of absence in the past - and to identify any patterns.
A = Ask them about the Absence and…
Ask them to explain why they were absent.
C = Check that they are OK to resume work
If the person has been ill, you should check that they are well enough to resume work - otherwise they might spread their illness to other colleagues.
T = Ensure they Take action to prevent the absence reoccurring
Put the onus on the person to resolve the absence, and stop it reoccurring in the future. Make sure they are committed to taking action to avoid further absences.
S = Sum up
Sum-up what has been said so that everyone is clear. Then see them back to work.
