Absence Management
In 2010 the UK’s economy lost 190 million working days due to sickness absence, with the average cost being approximately £700 per employee per day. With the so called “sickie” accounting for over 30 million sick leave days, it is no surprise many businesses are looking for an absence management solution to address this problem.
Our absence management solution will provide:
- Policies and procedures - we will help you implement simple, straight-forward policies and procedures for employees to follow in the event of absence, including Day One Reporting
- Fast Track Access to Care- we work in conjunction with occupational health providers to minimise long term absence and ensure fast track access to care and wellness training is available
- Management triggers - triggers based on the Bradford Factor* will be provided to managers as a tool to effectively monitor absence. Use of this method can significantly reduce short term absence
Actionable Analytics
Our system will provide clear analytics around sickness absence and the cost per day per sick employee, plus provide information on leavers and the reason why they have left, highlighting any employee trends that you may need to address.
*Bradford Factor = number of absences x number of absences x total duration
For example, someone who has had 5 instances of absence totaling 15 days would be calculated 5 x 5 x 15 = 375
The Bradford Factor is a way of illustrating, for example, how disruptive frequent short-term absence around weekends can be relative to occasional longer spells of absence. Bradford scores are a way of identifying individuals with serious absence and patterns of absence worthy of further investigation. It helps highlight causes for concern and is often one of the first steps in an attendance procedure.
