Improving Attendance: What managers and their teams can do
The simple 4-step approach to effective return-to-work interviews
Routine return-to-work interviews will solve most absence problems. Managers need to know why they should tackle absenteeism. And they need to know how to do it.
This top-selling video-based training programme contains everything you need to equip your managers with the skills and knowledge they need to carry out effective return-to-work interviews. Use it to cut absenteeism in your organisation.
Employees also need to understand the return-to-work interview. They need to know why absence matters and what their manager will want to talk to them about when they return from a period of absence.
Equipping your employees with a greater knowledge about what they can expect from the return-to-work interview will help them understand the system and their responsibility for their absence.
Taking a performance management approach to improving attendance saves money and supports employees.

Train your managers to use the W.A.R.M. approach to absenteeism:
Welcome - welcome them back; tell them they were missed
Absence - discuss the absence; are they fit to return?
Responsibility - explain that being absent means they have a problem; talk about how they are going to solve it
Move on - focus on getting back to work; end on an upbeat note.
