Why You Should Attend
For many organisations, the necessity to downsize has led to an increased burden on a streamlined workforce. Stress levels are escalating almost at the same rate as the cost of healthcare provision and many employers have to look at cost-efficient ways in which to reduce the incidence of absence and improve the wellbeing of their employees. The XpertHR Conference: Managing Employee Health and Absence will bring together HR and Occupational Health professionals to share best practice and update their knowledge of related employment law.
Leading employers will discuss their own approaches to reducing absence, employee stress and promoting health and wellbeing and will also join in an interactive debate on how to reduce the costs of absence management. Occupational Health and medical experts will help you to understand common illnesses and insights of how employees can be supported back into work. Employment lawyers will bring delegates up to date on regulation around disability, incapacity and dismissals. The direct costs of employee absence alone cost the UK economy £17 billion in 2010. The median cost to employers was £760 per employee (source: CBI-Pfizer Absence Report 2011). Employers must start to give absence management and employee wellbeing top priority.
