Absence and Attendance Management

A practical beginner course for line managers, supervisors and HR staff on managing absence fairly and supportively. Learn how an absence policy works, how to record and measure absence (including the Bradford Factor), how to run return-to-work conversations, handle frequent short absences and long-term sickness, use trigger points with discretion, and run a fair attendance review. It teaches common good practice; employment law differs by country, so always check local law and your own policy.
