In this course, you'll learn about different types of absence and some of the causes of short and long-term sickness.
You'll see how organisations should measure and analyse absence to see if there is a problem and identify types of absence.
Finally, you'll look at how to deal with absences and understand the importance of return-to-work discussions, including how to carry them out as well as ways of reducing levels of absence.
