How to reduce absence rates?

An absence rate is when employees are absent from work due to illness or an unplanned occurrence- this doesn’t include when they are on holiday or any other paid leave.

We all know that employees get sick sometimes, or have a situation happen which causes them to be absent from work, some absences are unavoidable, but some absences can be avoided, and these are the absence rates we are trying to reduce.

During this episode, we will be discussing what you can do to reduce absence rates within your business, from implementing policies and procedures to reward and recognition schemes.

Conflict happens between people or groups of people who feel that another person or group is blocking their needs or not enabling them to express their views in the workplace. The CIPD survey found that the most common causes of conflict are differences in personality styles or working practices.

Conflict is more likely to happen when people feel they have lost or are losing something whether that is respect, status in the workplace or particularly if they feel their job is under threat. 

In this episode, we are joined by qualified workplace mediator Louise Rance, to explain what workplace conflict is, what the most common causes of conflict in the workplace are and to provide you with the right tools on how to deal with it.

Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome behaviour of a sexual nature, that violates someone’s dignity, and makes them feel intimidated, humiliated or degraded.

Sexual harassment in the workplace is a longstanding issue, which has been rightfully brought to the forefront in recent years. Harassment, including sexual harassment that relates to any protected characteristic is illegal under the 2010 Equality Act. As an employer you must ensure that you are doing all you can within your workplace to prevent sexual harassment from happening.

In this episode, we will help you to identify sexual harassment within the workplace, teach you how to deal with it, how to support the victims and how to prevent it from happening within your business.
