Absence Management

A key part of managing absence effectively is accurate measurement and monitoring. A business needs to determine if it has a problem with absence, its extent and the best way to tackle it. In a recent survey into absence by the CIPD found fewer than half of employers monitor the cost of absence, only half of organisations have set a target for reducing absence and just 48% of organisations benchmark themselves against other employers.

By investing in an absence management programme the real causes and costs to your business can be tracked and policies brought in to combat the negative effect that this can have on your bottom line. At The Premier Choice Group we use a number of specialist companies who utilise state of the art programmes to help with the monitoring and recording of absence in the workplace. Such plans can cost only a few pounds per head yet with proper use can save an organisation many times the initial cost.
