Reducing Employee Absence the Right Way
Having poor absence management costs you time, energy and money. One of the ways to get around it is understanding what’s causing absences and knowing how to deal with them properly. We show managers how to tackle the root of the problem and give actionable tips to help them support their team earlier to prevent long-term sickness.
With the right actions, absence rates will drop dramatically – just like one of our clients who saw a 50% reduction in employee absence by putting in place the techniques shared in our absence management course. We explore policies and procedures that are proven to help reduce absences at work and keep productivity levels on track.
What You’ll Learn
The course gives you practical strategies to successfully manage absences long-term, rather than just short-term fixes. By the end of our managing sickness and absence training, your team will be able to:
- Spot the common causes of persistent absence
- Support your team’s mental well-being and encourage healthy behaviours
- Put the right procedures in place to actively reduce absences at work
- Conduct effective return-to-work conversations to reduce future absences
- Reduce cases of presenteeism in teams
This hands-on training includes collaborative exercises with real-life examples to ensure your team leaves with practical skills to manage absences the right way.

Why Choose Our Absence Management Training Course?
We understand that it’s difficult to get the balance right of managing absences with sensitivity while holding your staff accountable to break bad habits. Our course is built from years of real-world HR experience, reduced down to the all-important strategies that make a difference.
We speak in plain language, so your team won’t walk away confused or without clear direction on how to implement strategies. If your current approach to absence management is inconsistent and ineffective, this absence management course will give your leaders the structure, confidence and tools to change that.
Managing Absence Training is For
Our absence management training is for anyone handling staff absence and wanting to feel more confident doing it. This includes new and aspiring managers as well as established and senior leaders who haven’t had formal training on how to deal with absences. It’s also perfect for startups experiencing significant team growth who need that bit of extra support when dealing with various HR policies.
This training helps you put a solid, people-focused process in place from the get-go. It’s the right course for anyone wanting to reduce absence in their team but isn’t sure how to tackle it in the most sensitive way.
Managing Absence Training Is Not For
Our managing sickness and absence training isn’t the right choice for teams that just want a quick fix to solve absences. Our sessions are collaborative and engaging, encouraging open discussions rather than just ‘sit and listen’ exercises.
If you’re open to learning new tools and strategies and open to hearing constructive feedback, this course is for you. We believe there’s always room for improvement when it comes to successfully managing sickness absence, and your teams deserve managers who take the time to improve. If you’re just looking for a box-ticking exercise, this isn’t for you.
