How well are you supporting your staff?

According to Statista, the average number of days lost through sickness absence per worker in a year was 5.7 days – and absences for mental health issues tend to be much longer. The charity Mind revealed that 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year.

Employee absence can have an effect on productivity, morale and can have costly effects like sick pay and paying for cover with overtime or agency staff. But as an employer, you need to make sure that you’re managing employee welfare in a compassionate way – so where do you go for help and advice to make sure everyone feels supported?

That’s where Jonathan comes in – the HR & Employment Law advisor behind your free Citation HR advice line.

You could ask…
• Do I need to conduct return to work meetings with employees following absences?
• Should I put phased returns to work in place after lengthy absences?
• Should I stay in contact with employees who are off sick?
• How can I support my workers’ mental health better?
• Do I need to provide training to my management team when it comes to handling sickness absence and mental health issues?
And so much more!

So, for friendly and confidential support with your HR & Employment Law issues, get in touch with Jonathan at Citation today at appointmentswithjonathan@citation.co.uk or call 0161 504 0843 between 9am-5pm Monday-Friday and quote FEA. Or book a slot in his diary here.
