Protecting your business from the cost of sickness absence

*the average length of sickness absence is 8 days per employee per year or 3.5%
*the average cost of sickness absence is £598 per employee per year
*stress is the number one ranked reason for long term absence for non-manual employees
*almost 60% of absence is short term, accounted for by periods of up to seven days
*nearly 20% of working time lost due to absence from work is caused by medium term absence of between eight days and four weeks

Find out what illness costs your company - and do something about it

There are plenty of ways to protect your staff and your business from the effects of long-term illness: OneHealth from Jardine Lloyd Thompson helps you manage both short-term and long-term illness.

Using our 'RADAR' (Risk, Assessment, Definition and Resolution) approach, we assess the key risks that your business faces as a result of sickness absence, we define the material impact of those issues on your company, and then recommend solutions to help resolve any issues before they become a serious problem.

• What are the levels of sickness absence?
• Is this seen as high, average or low?
• How accurate is absence recording and reporting?
• What are the main causes of absence?
• Which sections of the organisation are most affected?
• How much does absence cost the organisation?
• How well is absence managed?
• What initiatives are in place to improve absence rates?
• What are the levels of staff turnover?
• What are the main reasons for staff turnover?
• What initiatives are in place to reduce staff turnover?
• What employee benefits are in place?
• Are you getting value from your Employee Assistance Programme?
• What level of utilisation would be expected from employees accessing the Employee Assistance Programme?
• Do you make appropriate use of Occupational Health Services?
• Do you make appropriate use of additional services available from your insurers/providers?

JLT will discuss the real drivers and costs associated with health in the work place and solutions that will deliver a credible return on investment although perhaps more importantly it will help offer best practice and a consistent offering to employees.
