We are pleased to bring you the next webinar in our disability essentials series What Works?

What works? Long-term sickness absence will explore what processes you can put in place to help prevent some long-term absences, and consider how you should support employees if they do go off work for an extended period.

Sometimes people develop conditions which seriously impact their lives, and how managers support the employee while they are off can have a significant impact on the length of their absence and their ability to successfully return to work.
