Download our case study today to learn what the process involved: http://bit.ly/2faVDUE---Workplace Medical Corp works as a strategic partner with organizations across Canada, in both the public and private sector to reduce avoidable absences by providing services that support employee absence prevention, response and return to work strategies.Many HR executives and Health & Safety managers recognize that employee absences are an important productivity issue, but effective absence management programs are difficult to design, implement and enforce. Just determining the scope of the problem is a challenging task for most organizations.The First Principles of Absence Management are:1. Early Intervention: Don't rely on doctor's notes. The doctor should not be the truent officer for industry.2. Planned Communication: Get the right information to the right person at the right time.3. Data Tracking & Measurement: You can't manage what you can't measure.4. Supervisor Involvement: If the supervisor is not part of the solution, they are part of the problem.5. Time and Attendance: Record keeping does not equal absence management.6. Policy development and implementation: Poor policy and implementation are by far, the most significant causes of avoidable absences.If you'd like to identify whether there are any leaks in your current absence management program, visit our website to download your free guide.
