Sickness Absence and Attendance Management
Managing attendance and reducing sickness absence within your organisation could save your company many thousands.
The Confederation of British Industry estimates that UK businesses lose more than £13.2 billion each year through employee sickness.
With a national average of around 3% or 8 days lost per employee, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (source CIPD’s 2006 Absence Management survey) estimate that sickness absence costs £598 per employee per year.
This estimate excludes all the 'hidden costs' such as management time, loss of productivity, increased overtime or additional contractor time and reduction in remaining staff morale.
Our table illustrates just how much Sickness Absence could be costing your organisation:
| Level of Absence | No of Employees | No of days | Cost per day | Cost per annum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3% | 100 | 8 | £75 | £60K |
| 4% | 100 | 10 | £75 | £75K |
| 5% | 100 | 13 | £75 | £98K |
| 6% | 100 | 16 | £75 | £120K |
Managing sickness absence effectively can have a dramatic impact on the bottom line profitability of your organisation.
