Long term sickness absence can have a detrimental effect on the business and the individual employee. It makes sense to have systems set up that will have the ability to manage long term absence in a timely manner. Remote absence management allows for speed and flexibility to be applied as soon as the 'trigger' for long term absence is activated. There are also times when workplace accidents and illness will require a swifter response.
Considering that some business do not have the available office space to hand or the geographical spread is to wide spread it make sense to choose remote absence management systems. The value of this type of service is much the same as face to face interviews but has the advantage of speedy contact and return of OH reports.
The advantage of knowing the OH case manager is fully qualified and experienced in this area of work allows the business to focus on day to day activities.The employee is assured of speaking with the same person throughout sickness absence ensuring prompt support as required.
Management teams have access by phone or e mail to ensure good communications whenever managing sickness absence, return to work, reasonable adjustments, alternative work and any re-habilitation plans.
Absence information on a statistical basis is used to identify any sickness problem areas. Pro-active health advise is delivered from this collection of data back to the business to reduce future sickness absence.
