With an aging Canadian workforce, growing rates of workplace stress, increasingly busy lifestyles, and an uncertain economy, you are facing the important challenge of keeping your employees healthy, engaged, and at work.
Statistics Canada reported in 1997 that 5.5% of full-time workers were absent from work for personal reasons; by 2006, this number had risen to 8.2%. Driving factors such as mental health issues, substance abuse, stress, fatigue, workplace disengagement, and illness are on the rise. Having the strategies to promote and manage workplace attendance is more critical than ever.
You need to know how to design an attendance management plan, and you need to know how to implement the plan and collect information to monitor attendance and absenteeism on an ongoing basis.
To help you meet the challenges, INFONEX's Minimizing Absenteeism in the Workplace in the Federally Regulated Workplace will offer the strategies, methodologies, and tools you require to successfully develop your organization's policies and implement them effectively.
Our faculty of highly experienced practitioners will share their expertise, insight, and experience, offering examples of how the design and implementation of attendance management policies have benefited their organizations. Learn your legal rights and liabilities in the areas of termination law, how to determine whether absenteeism is or is not culpable, and whether or not you have a duty to accommodate.
Use this opportunity to learn from case studies of the best (and worst!) practices, and take away valuable practical knowledge you can begin applying right away in your own organizations. Register today!
