According to the ONS’ latest report on sickness absence in the UK labour market, an estimated 149.3 million working days were lost because of sickness or injury in 2021 – that’s equivalent to 4.6 days per worker.
All of this absence poses a huge cost for businesses, with SMEs hit particularly hard. In fact, the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) Policy and Advocacy Chair Tina McKenzie has said that the average cost of sickness absence stands at more than £3,000 a year for small employers, equating to £5 billion across the small business sector as a whole. While dealing with employee absence is an inevitable part of running any organisation, there are things businesses can do to manage absence and attendance more effectively and minimise the impact on their operations and their finances. Absentia, Medigold Health’s online absence management service, provides you with all the tools you need to manage employee absence more proactively from day one while relieving the administrative burden.
