On Thursday 27th June, we will be hosting a free breakfast workshop on Occupational Health: Navigating sickness absence legally, and with compassion.
We'll discuss how to understand different types of absence and how to handle each situation in a sensitive manner. Delegates will learn how to deal with short and long-term absences, how to ensure that you obtain the best medical advice, and how to facilitate the absent employee returning to work.
Topics will include:
Identifying and understanding different types of absence
Deal with short and long-term absences
Understanding the interaction between sickness absence and disability
Understanding the obligations on an employer when a disabled employee is on sick leave
Conducting effective return to work meetings
The formal processes involved in managing absence
Applying the right policies to manage absence
Occupational Health referrals
We will also be joined by expert Occupational Health Advisor Anna Harrington, who will be discussing when and how employers should make an OH referral, the appropriate questions to ask, and how to plan your next steps once you have the report.
