How much is absence costing your organisation?

Managing absence
A one day workshop on 21 September, at the Merseyside Innovation Centre,
Liverpool
Over the last few years there has been an increasing recognition of the need
to manage absence effectively. Absence has significant effects on the
operation of an organisation in terms of direct costs and indirect costs.
The CBI in its recent report* estimated the average cost of absence as being
£465 per employee per year in the UK. When one then considers indirect
costs such as declining quality, lost opportunities and poor customer
service this figure will rise considerably, perhaps by as much as another
£650. Other indirect costs are on morale, increasing workloads and rising
stress.
The money saved through reductions in absence can be directly attributed to
bolstering services and represents the kind of cost that, if it was a more
obvious direct cost, would be stamped out immediately.
As has been recognised by many organisations, line managers/team leaders are
the key to managing absence effectively. This does not mean that they have
to work in isolation; they should have the support of HR and senior
management. But they are the key, they are closest to the 'problem' and it
should be seen as an integral part of their management role.
