Sickness Absence Management

'Sickness absence costs the UK economy about 12bn a year, 8bn of that is the private sector'. (Confederation of British industry).

• Average absence is 8.4 days per employee per annum.
• Stress and mental illness are the main causes of long-term absence for non-manual workers.
• Occupational Health is seen as the most effective method of managing long-term absence (CIPD 2005).
• Apex Occupational Health can help you reduce your sickness absence - short and long-term. Communication between employees, managers and HR is an essential part of the process.
