When it comes to cutting down on sick leave, it’s important to understand the reasons behind above-average absenteeism. While most people take time off for legitimate health reasons, it’s also important to rule out the possibility of sick leave abuse, or time theft. Attendance and absence management software can eliminate the guesswork from this process, as it helps managers track sickness absence and find any worrying patterns.
For employees suffering with different medical ailments, some ways a business can help to reduce sick leave include:
As for annual leave, it’s important to encourage employees to spread out their holidays across the year rather than saving them up. Taking regular breaks from work will keep their well-being and motivation levels high throughout the year. You should also be mindful of how many people are taking annual leave at the same time, to support business continuity.
Turning down holiday requests can be badly received, so it’s helpful to have a clear practice in place for accepting requests, such as ‘first come, first served’. Effective annual leave management software can help keep with transparency in relation to holiday requests and approvals.
