About the Webinar
Join our global workplace healthcare experts for a practical discussion on how multinational organizations can strengthen HR policy, clinical governance and medically informed return-to-work practices. Drawing on our white paper, The Hidden Cost of Sickness Absence, the session will explore how to move beyond counting days toward earlier action and better workforce outcomes.
For an illustrative workforce of 50,000 employees, sickness absence could represent around USD 79.9 million a year in direct employment costs alone. The webinar will explore how stronger governance, workplace support and appropriate ergonomics can help organizations manage this impact more consistently across markets.
