About the Webinar
Join Dr Olivier Lo and Dr Vikram Vora for a discussion based on our new white paper, The Hidden Costs of Sickness Absence.
Drawing on the paper's seven-stage approach, our experts will explore how organizations can take a more structured, medically informed approach to sickness absence, from identifying and quantifying absence through triage, guidance and return to work, to measurement and governance.
The discussion will look particularly at how workplace adjustments and functional guidance can support sustainable return to work, when earlier occupational health input may be appropriate, and how organizations can navigate privacy, confidentiality and differing requirements across jurisdictions.
The session will also consider the wider cost of sickness absence, including lost capacity, productivity, operational disruption and recurrence, and how organizations can begin to connect absence management with measurable business value.
