Absence Minded: Managing Absenteeism

Absence Minded: Managing Absenteeism shows managers how to deal with this sensitive subject.  When someone calls in sick, beyond being ill, sometimes the cause of their absenteeism could be bullying or experiencing childcare problems.  Or...they could be having a game of golf or other similar recreation.  Even a slight change in a person's work environment can affect some people's motivation and lead to days of work. 

This engaging and humorous training film shows a manager who doesn't realize he has an absenteeism problem until it is pointed out to him.  He is then persuaded to keep a video dairy so tht his team can air their thoughts on the department.  This helps the manager to realize that when he takes a positive approach, he can actually reduce the levels of absenteeism quite dramatically.

Absence Minded is a a blended learning resource pack containing both the DVD traiing film and a CD- Self Study option that provides accessibility to the training for those unable to attend a training course on site, or as a self study brush up of skills, allowing all learners to have the advantage of learning quickly.
