Absence Management
Employee absence is a significant cost for UK companies. According to recent research by Employment Review, absence accounted for 3.2% of working time lost in the UK in 2007 at an estimated cost of £500 per head.
Managing staff absence and maximising attendance while operating within an increasingly competitive marketplace is an important task for any employer.
PES has a wealth of experience in helping companies deal with absence issues. One of our recent projects with a Healthcare Trust resulted in a reduction in absence rates of over 2%. With the Trust's annual spend on absence in excess of £4.5 million, the project reaped considerable financial savings as well as improving employee morale. Click here to read the full story.
