Many organizations are dealing with increasing attendance issues. So if you are feeling the strain of increasing sick leave and other frequent unplanned absences, you are not alone.

I provide clients with reliable and succinct absence management advice from an HR point of view. It involves several key components to ensure that attendance issues are handled effectively and in compliance with legal regulations and applicable company policies. Some topics I support include, but are not limited to:

• Creating policies

• Guiding communication protocols

• Recommending return to work strategies

• Supporting innocent absenteeism discussions and planning

• Training and support for managers
