Hi Susan,
In order to present a case I would suggest that you obtain any figures you can regarding sickness absence, and the percentage of absence in the business. This way you can estimate the cost of absence based on the average salary within the business. If you can identify the causes of absence you can target the most significant, and work out say a daily rate, which you can demonstrate savings through facilitating earlier returns.
If you contact me off line I have a simple cost benefit analysis that I could share.
Regards
Cheryl

Hi , elders and wise ones, i am an OH nurse working 3 days a week in a large manufacturing plant, there's lots of work to fill my day at present and i find i do screening, HR reports on those absent from work, work station assessments etc but i feel and my Health and Safety manager agrees that there is sufficient work for full time work. I have spoken to the HR dept and they agree so i have been asked to develop a business plan to justify the increase in hours for myself and the extra cost to the company.
I have no idea where to start, i would like to start b/p clinics on site, smoking cessation, weight management groups,bring in outside companies and organisations to discuss mental health/stress issues. I know of a great local physio who i'm sure could help get employees back to work sooner or stop them needing to go off.All of these at the moment are things i haven't got time for but i don't know quite how to demonstrate the business needs,costs and benefits.
Can anyone enlighten me please
