What will I study?

This e-learning programme has one single aim – to help managers to feel confident in managing attendance. Effective absence management is about creating working environments where employees are less likely to wake up and think ‘I don’t feel like going in to work today’.

A certain level of employee absence is an unavoidable feature of working life, but this does not mean that all absences should be regarded as inevitable and accepted passively. It is possible to reduce the amount of absence caused by aspects of work and also to tackle it by proactively managing attendance. These comprehensive modules focus on both prevention and rehabilitation.
