Hybrid Foundations Seminar: Attendance Management

Unless effectively managed, employee absenteeism can result in lost productivity, decreased employee morale and detract from an organization’s ability to achieve its objectives.

This seminar will provide employers with the tools needed to identify and address the most challenging issues related to attendance management regardless of whether an employee’s absenteeism is ongoing or sporadic, including:

1. Assessing whether absenteeism is culpable or non-culpable or a mix of both and the different approaches arising as a result;
2. Identifying the elements of a successful attendance management program;
3. Weighing employees’ privacy rights with the employer’s entitlement to sufficient information to address attendance issues and its duty to accommodate: determining when, what and how much medical information can be requested from employees;
4. Responding effectively to various challenging scenarios, including sick leave fraud or situations where chronic illnesses and human rights considerations exist, while minimizing the organization’s legal risks.

Who Should Attend:

This seminar is suitable for human resource professionals and members of management who are looking to implement or improve their organization’s attendance management. The workshop is relevant to both unionized and non-unionized workforces.

Learning Format:

This seminar will be completed over a 5-hour in-person session and will incorporate case studies and hypothetical scenarios to provide participants with the opportunity to apply their learnings.
