Absenteeism is a strategic issue; it is growing, getting more expensive every year, and negatively impacting organizational effectiveness, productivity, profitability and employee engagement. And that solving absenteeism requires a strategic approach - holistic, long-term, and driven by return-on-investment analysis.
In this engaging and interactive presentation, Angelo Carofano, MBA, CPA, Executive Vice-President & Chief Financial Officer at Workplace Medical Corp will share how he has seen, first-hand, the massive organizational benefits of taking a strategic approach to absence management, both financial and non-financial. With the aid of several compelling and insightful case studies, the audience will learn why:
- Reducing absenteeism requires a strategic, holistic approach – one that necessitates investment and long-term thinking
- The entire senior management team needs to be involved in reducing absenteeism, particularly the CFO
- Organizations should treat investments in reducing absenteeism the same as other capital expenditures - making decisions based upon return-on-investment assessments
- Visibility, accountability, and a clear path to reducing avoidable absenteeism are key, and how to overcome these critical hurdles
- A well structured, consistently managed absence management program will be well received by employees
