Absenteeism of employees is expensive. Every employer wants to reduce absenteeism amongst their workforce or at least minimize the duration. This training teaches employers how to lower their absenteeism rate.
The average workplace absenteeism rate in the Netherlands is just under 5%. This is slightly higher than it was over the previous 10 years. Considering a sick employee can cost up to €400,- a day, absenteeism is a major expense for employers.
Fortunately, employers have means to improve their absenteeism rate, by applying their knowledge of relevant legislation and regulations, using the correct absenteeism interventions, and mastering the art of conducting a constructive absenteeism interview.
Providing support and counselling to sick employees is not the only way to improve your company’s absenteeism rate. Creating good working conditions and conducting frequent absenteeism interviews have a significant impact on preventing (long-term) absence. After all, prevention is still the best cure.
