Absenteeism costs Canada $12 billion every year, yet few companies know its true costs within their own organization. Difficulties in collecting and centralizing absenteeism data, measuring the direct and indirect associated costs, and engaging swift communication and supervisor involvement have all been identified as significant hurdles in managing absences.
The First Principles of Absence Management are:
- Early intervention
- Supervisor involvement. "If the supervisor is not part of the solution,
they are part of the problem"
- Planned communication. "The right information to the right person at the
right time."
- Data tracking and measurement. "You can't manage what you can't measure"
- Time and Attendance is not Absence Management.
Workplace Medical Corp. (WMC)'s new Absence Management program addresses all these issues. We provide companies an effective and practical way to monitor and track absenteeism and to effectively implement existing absenteeism management policies.
The program includes a call centre, unique web-based, rules-based Absence Management software and Return-to-Work case management for follow-up on medical absences.
