Absence management

The eighth CIPD annual absence survey contains data on:

• rates of sickness absence 
• costs
• targets and benchmarking
• causes 
• workplace stress
• managing absence
• employee well-being
• occupational sick pay
• Statutory Sick Pay 

It looks at how organisations manage absence, with data on the approaches used and respondents’ views of their effectiveness.

A series of case studies looks at the experience of BMW, Victim Support West Midlands, Blacks Leisure Group, Great Ormond Street Hospital and Edelman.
