What we offer

Capturing and Reporting Absence Data

The first step in managing absenteeism effectively is understanding its scope. We work with you to capture and report accurate absence data, often utilising HR software to keep track of everything. By having clear, detailed records, you’ll gain insights into patterns of absenteeism and be better equipped to address them.

Implementing Absence ‘Triggers’

To ensure that absenteeism doesn’t go unchecked, we help you put ‘triggers’ in place—specific points at which a formal absence management process kicks in. Whether it’s after a certain number of days missed or a pattern of recurring absences, these triggers ensure that issues are addressed promptly and consistently.

Getting to the Root Causes

Absenteeism isn’t just about counting the days someone is off; it’s about understanding why they’re absent in the first place. We delve into the root causes of absences, whether they’re related to health, personal issues, or workplace dissatisfaction. Once we identify the underlying issues, we help set realistic targets for improvement and work with you to create a supportive environment that encourages attendance.

Managing Formal Disciplinary Processes

When absenteeism persists despite efforts to address it, formal disciplinary action may be necessary. We take the pressure off you by managing these processes on your behalf. From conducting investigations to handling meetings and documentation, we ensure that everything is done correctly, fairly, and in line with legal requirements.
