Telephone Tutorial: Managing sickness absence

21st May 2008, 3:30pm - 4:30pm, Past event

Access valuable training from the convenience of your desk and minimise disruption to your working day by taking part in an EFD telephone tutorial.

We will make sure that you have all the correct materials beforehand; all you need is access to a telephone. You will be given the opportunity to ask questions prior to and during the presentation. Alternative arrangements can be made for delegates with specific requirements.  

The tutorial will cover the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and case law relating to attendance management, recording and managing sickness absence (including disability related short-term and long-term absences) and making reasonable adjustments relating to sickness absence. 

Who should attend?

Line managers

"The telephone tutorial was a great idea. I think it worked well and it was particularly useful being able to hear questions from other members. It makes you realise that there are a lot of people asking the same thing as you and maybe your questions aren't so silly after all!"

Rebecca Auty, reasonable adjustment manager, Highways Agency.
