WHY TAKE TAKE THIS COURSE?
Unfortunately, sickness is inevitable. But as a team leader, supervisor, or business owner, it’s important to know the difference between what is normal sickness and what could be deemed problematic. Recurring absence can cost a business a significant amount of money. Furthermore, it impacts daily operations and staff morale. Having an effective policy in place to offer support while maintaining accountability is the best way to monitor sickness. -
