Absence Minded

This video helps managers tackle absenteeism within their teams, by using a structured and positive approach.

Video Synopsis

Absenteeism is as common as the common cold and it costs businesses millions every year. But when someone calls in sick, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're ill.  They could be having difficulties because of a hostile work environment, or experiencing childcare problems; they may even be playing golf. Even a slight change in the working environment can affect some people's motivation and lead to days off work.

This engaging and humorous new video-based program shows a manager who doesn't realize he has an absenteeism problem until it is pointed out to him. He is then persuaded to keep a video diary, so that his team can air their thoughts on the department. This helps the manager to realize that when he takes a positive approach, he can actually reduce the levels of absenteeism quite dramatically.

The program shows managers how to deal with this sensitive subject area in three simple stages.

• Acknowledging the problem.
• Identifying the reasons.
• Agreeing a solution.
