Wales has the highest absence rate in the UK, with an estimated 11.6 million working days lost due to sickness or injury.
To help employers address this growing issue, Healthy Working Wales (HWW) has launched a new webpage on ‘Managing Sickness Absence’. This resource offers advice, guidance and signposting on reducing absenteeism, supporting employees’ return to work, and maintaining productivity. With tips on monitoring attendance and creating a supportive workplace, it’s an informative resource for employers across Wales.
