Remeber these golden rules to avoid some common human resource mistakes
- UK law requires you to buy employers’ liability insurance but good risk management can reduce your premium and also costs associated with employees’ sickness and absence
- Robust health and safety management cuts uninsured costs such as lost time, staff turnover and retraining
- Implement a framework for continuous health and safety improvement
- Health and safety management includes identifying and assessing workplace hazards, introducing safe procedures for employees and training them in the risks and necessary controls
- The savings derived from absence management can far outweigh what you invest
- Try to find a balance between providing support to help employees with health problems stay in and return to work and preventing employees from taking advantage of occupational sick pay schemes.
- Effective absence management requires accurate measurement and monitoring to identify trends and to explore underlying causes
- Interventions for managing long-term absence include occupational health involvement and proactive measures to support staff health and wellbeing, return-to-work interviews and rehabilitation programmes
