Managing Sickness and Absence Online Course

Staff absence can be a real headache for a business. Employees who are not at work will not be producing anything. Even worse, they will still need to be paid (depending on a country’s legislation), and another employee may need to cover the absent worker’s tasks, putting additional strain on them and affecting their overall output levels.
This course will help you to understand the different types of absence and identify ways of measuring staff absence. It covers why your company should complete return-to-work forms, along with how to conduct effective return-to-work meetings. The course finishes off by explaining the formal processes involved in managing absence, and how to apply appropriate policies.
There are multiple choice questions at the end of each unit. Those who successfully achieve the minimum mark required to pass these assessments are rewarded with a printable certificate.
An e-learning course is ideal for those who cannot get time away from the workplace and do not require a tailored course which deals with specific risks. If you do, then an open course or bespoke/in-house course will be much more suitable for your requirements.
The course comprises the following modules:
- Module 1: The Costs and Impact of Employee Absence
- Module 2: Measuring and Managing Employee Absence
- Module 3: Legislation, Processes and Pay

Purchasing a business license will grant the buyer administration access from where they can issue log-in usernames and passwords to their employees. This allows businesses to take advantage of the greater discounts on offer even if they do not currently know the names of every individual who will be taking the online course, which is particularly useful if you plan to grant access to employees over a period of time rather than all at once (e.g. getting new starters to complete the course). It also negates the need to fill in a massively long booking form with all their names when purchasing!
