A good talk at the right moment. That matters more.
A good talk
In case of absenteeism and its prevention
It is extremely important to have a good talk in order to increase the involvement and work pleasure of employees, improve performance and stimulate employees to continue to develop. A good talk is indispensable when employees are absent, but also when you want to prevent absenteeism.
How do you have a good talk? What should you look out for? Our professionals can provide you with the answers.
A good
preventive talk
Social support has the greatest influence on absenteeism. Research by Statistics Netherlands, the central bureau of statistics, shows that absenteeism rates spike drastically in companies that lack social support. This is where the supervisor can make a difference. With this knowledge, how do you initiate a good preventive talk?
A good talk in
case of sick report
It’s Monday morning and an employee reports sick. This is where supervisors often get stuck due to the strict privacy law and consequently hardly ask any questions. This is not necessary. It is easier to initiate a good talk when you know what you are allowed to ask.
A good talk in case
of frequent absenteeism
We consider absenteeism to be frequent when employees report sick three times or more per year. Short frequent absenteeism is an indicator of long-term absenteeism. Long-term absenteeism does not happen overnight. Initiating a good talk on time is therefore important, but this can be difficult. We will help you along.
