Every year in the UK employee sickness costs businesses more than £500,000 per 1,000 employees.  Left unchecked, sickness absence can cause resentment and low morale among the workforce.

Working collaboratively alongside your own HR personnel and line managers, Atos Healthcare helps you develop a Sickness Absence Management programme that will dramatically reduce lost productivity by focusing on the wellbeing of your employees. Using methods such as case conferences, clinical interventions and rehabilitation programmes, with referrals to specialist treatment where appropriate, one client reduced lost work time equivalent to ten times the cost of commissioning and implementing their programme.

And it's not just about cost savings; a Sickness Absence Management programme also produces an effective increase in manpower, meaning that you can use your staff resources more effectively. In addition, employee loyalty is improved as they see the company taking a more proactive interest in their wellbeing. The programme can also result in a transfer of useful skills to your company, such as stress awareness, attendance management and health surveillance.
