Overview
Practical training for one of the workplace’s most common challenges.
Managing sick leave can become complicated very quickly. Employers need to balance employee rights, operational requirements, medical information, internal procedures and the risk of abuse — while still making fair and legally sound decisions.
This programme gives HR teams, supervisors and managers a practical framework for approaching absence and abuse of sick leave with greater confidence.
