Practical HR Conversations: Sickness Absence: Supportive, Fair and Consistent

Sickness Absence: Supportive, Fair and Consistent Management

Managing sickness absence can be one of the most challenging aspects of people management.

This session will explore common absence scenarios, return-to-work conversations, persistent short-term absence, long-term sickness and the balance between supporting employees and maintaining business needs. We'll discuss practical approaches, common pitfalls and opportunities to share challenges and solutions with other managers.

Practical HR Conversations

Our Practical HR Conversations series is a monthly discussion-led session designed for business owners, managers and anyone with responsibility for people management.

Rather than a traditional training workshop, these interactive sessions provide an opportunity to explore real workplace scenarios, discuss common challenges and learn from the experiences of other employers and managers. Each session includes practical guidance, facilitated discussion and the chance to ask questions in a supportive environment.

Attend the sessions most relevant to your business or join us throughout the year to build your confidence across a range of HR and employment issues.

£49 + VAT per session or £199 + VAT for any 5 sessions. Choose the topics most relevant to your business and join a practical, discussion-led HR learning community.

More than one colleague from your organisation is welcome to attend under the same booking.
