An attendance management policy is only of benefit if it works. It needs to be effectively implemented into an organisation to ensure that all employees are aware of the policy and how it works. This training activity will show how to implement a policy effectively and how to avoid some of the pitfalls.
You begin this training activity by introducing the topic of implementing an attendance management policy in the workplace. The participants then work in groups to discuss the issues and obstacles involved. You review their ideas before explaining ways to overcome obstacles to implementation. The participants then work on a project plan to outline the steps required to implement an attendance management policy. Next, you explain the need for internal communications to keep key sectors informed. You then ask the participants to work in groups to design appropriate presentation plans. Finally, you summarise the training activity, emphasising the key points and answering any questions the participants raise.
