Absenteeism Management
Managing day-to-day absenteeism issues can be tricky. Attendees will be provided with an understanding of the relevant laws and best practice processes for assessing and managing different types of absences in the workplace.
This program builds upon the knowledge gained from our full day Investigation and Disciplinary Management training program. We have designed this training around feedback from our clients which suggests that some managers are ill equipped to have difficult conversations. To that end, we have incorporated role play exercises within this program to ensure that participants are provided with an opportunity to augment their difficult conversation skillset.
Maximum number of attendees:
24 at EMA Consulting training facility
24 at client premises
