Do you know why your employees are calling in “sick” at the last minute? With the rate of absenteeism in companies trending upward, U.S. employers are losing ground when it comes to finding the most effective programs for keeping their employees on the job. With another flu season on the way, these same employers are concerned about “presenteeism” as a workforce health problem and the threat that sick employees pose in the workplace. According to the findings of the 2007 CCH Unscheduled Absence Survey, large employers are paying as much as $764,000 per year in direct payroll costs, and even more when lower productivity, lost revenue and the effects of poor morale are considered. This webcast will help employers understand both the hard-dollar and hidden costs of absenteeism by identifying what programs can be used to keep employees on the job without running afoul of federal leave law. It also includes workable solutions to minimize presenteeism and maintain a healthier workplace, not just during flu season but throughout the year.
The webcast features Francis P. Alvarez, JD, of Jackson Lewis LLP, who will explain the legal complexities of absence management; Michael Parker, SPHR, GPHR, CLP Resources Vice President of Human Resources, who will provide the “real life” corporate HR perspective; and CCH Workplace Analysts Brett Gorovsky, JD and Pamela Wolf, JD, who will discuss the findings of this year’s Survey, which is in its 17th year. Regardless of your organization’s size or industry, the challenge among employers when combating absenteeism and presenteeism is the same. Accurately measuring the effects that absenteeism and presenteeism have on your organization and applying the tips, techniques and solutions given in this webcast will help your organization maintain a more productive workforce. This webcast will teach you how to implement legally compliant, effective absence control and work-life programs that help employees better balance work-life issues, reduce unscheduled absences and cut real costs for employers.
