... driving down the cost of absence

Government statistics state that around 40 million working days are lost every year due to occupational ill health and injury and although long-term absence accounted for just 6% of all absence cases in 2004, it was responsible for 34% of total time lost through absence.

The average cost of absence in 2007 has risen to £659 per year per employee (CIPD).

Employers who adhere to good proactive absence management practices could see reduced premiums, as reduced levels of absence would reflect favourably when negotiating income protection and other insurance premiums.
