Sickness Absence Management Training

One of the issues which frequently challenges Practice Managers is that of managing sickness absence. We know from the number of enquiries we receive on our Advice Line that this is one of the most difficult and time-consuming issues that Practice Managers have to deal with. This training DVD is designed to help Practice Managers manage, measure and minimise sickness absence.

The DVD addresses the following:

  • Measuring and investigating sickness absence
  • Understanding organisational and individual factors
  • Managing absences which may involve a disability
  • Managing short-term and frequent sickness absences
  • Managing long-term sickness absence
  • Involving Occupational Health
  • Back to work interviews
  • Taking disciplinary action
  • Dismissal for illness
  • Absence Policy
  • Sick Pay Policy

Several role plays are included to highlight key points

Also included on the DVD are the following draft documents for use in the sickness absence management process:

  • Absence notification procedure
  • Medical report (fitness for work - long term sick) procedure
  • Return to work (after sick leave) interview report form
  • Sick pay policy
  • Sickness absence and reporting policy
  • Stress policy

The DVD running time is 50 minutes, and it costs just £49.94 (including VAT and postage)*
