Workplace absenteeism

 

Where have all the staff gone?

Sickness absence is an issue of growing concern among employers in the UK owing to changing legislation, increased competitive pressures and the greater awareness of the costs incurred as a result of absence. Latest figures reveal that the number of absences in the UK has reached an all-time high.

A recent report by Healthcare consultants IHC shows that 40 million days are lost each year in the UK due to workplace absenteeism resulting in UK productivity lagging behind the US and some parts of Europe.
