Club Development HR Webinar- Managing staff absence in your club

Employee absence is an issue that can affect all clubs. Although it at times may not be preventable, how a business deals with these absences can help to reduce them in future. It can be tricky to navigate how to approach certain absences issues or to tell if an absence is preventable or an underlying medical issue, which will affect how the absence should be managed. This session goes through everything clubs need to know to effectively manage, support and prevent employee absence. Please find full detail below.
