Sick Days management

A big thank you to Anna-Maria Parente, a EHSCBC board member and Chief Human Resources Officer at SureWerx for her presentation on Sick day management.  Over the course of the presentation, she covered many strategies, policies, and opportunities to better manage sick days, absenteeism, work from home and proactive ways to help prevent abuse of sick days. 

By sharing how her company deals with many of these issues others were able to learn new methods and how to better track sick days and build strong polices.  Additionally, Anna-Maria identified some of the behaviours that could indicate potential misuse of sick days.  During the conversation other issues, like differences between unionized workers and nonunionized workers, KPI bonuses, doctors’ notes, and encouraging people to stay home when they are still contagious were discussed.

This forum was recorded for members to review at a later date.
