Sickness Absence Management

Working with Atos Healthcare, Royal Mail Group has cut sickness absence and saved £227 million in direct wages and benefits costs.¹

Atos Healthcare specialises in reducing sickness absence rates because long-term illness is a cause of great distress, affects workforce morale, and is very expensive for employers.

We have unrivalled experience working with a wide range of private and public sector organisations delivering sustainable reduced sickness absence and major financial benefits.

Our solutions are based on pro-active case-by-case management that supports individuals and reduces costs by returning employees to work as soon as appropriate.

A close working partnership is particularly important for Sickness Absence Management, to ensure that employees stay in touch with their managers and managers have the information they need to make resourcing decisions.

We therefore provide flexible services to a very high standard delivered by professional practitioners. And we support Sickness Absence Management with the technology solutions required to deliver comprehensive management reporting and key performance indicators.

Our Sickness Absence Management services can be augmented with a number of related Occupational Health solutions, from Health Screening to Employee Rehabilitation and Occupational Health Training, in order to help prevent and mitigate long-term sickness absence.
