<p>Sickness absenteeism is still a problem for the UK. According to recent CIPD surveys, average sickness absence continues to increase year on year in many organisations and such absence is particularly significant in the public sector, where it is now 50% higher than in the private sector. The need to manage sickness absence effectively and consistently remains a challenge for many organisations, as does balancing a robust approach alongside a desire and need to treat individuals sensitively and with compassion and respect.</p>
<p>This workshop equips managers with the knowledge, skills and confidence to manage sickness absence proactively and appropriately in accordance with your organisation's policies, best practice and legal considerations.</p><ul><li>UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF SICKNESS ABSENCE AND THE NEED TO MANAGE ABSENCE FAIRLY, CONSISTENTLY AND APPROPRIATELY</li><li>UNDERSTAND THE ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF LINE MANAGERS AND HOW TO WORK EFFECTIVELY WITH HR AND OTHER SOURCES OF SUPPORT SUCH AS OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH</li><li>ADOPT A POSITIVE AND PROACTIVE APPROACH TO MANAGING SICKNESS, INCLUDING CONDUCTING EFFECTIVE RETURN TO WORK INTERVIEWS</li><li>MANAGE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ABSENCE, INCLUDING SHORT-TERM PERSISTENT ABSENCE AND LONG-TERM ABSENCE, AS WELL AS CONTINUING HEALTH ISSUES THAT HAVE AN IMPACT ON WORK</li><li>BUILD CONFIDENCE IN ADDRESSING SENSITIVE ISSUES, INCLUDING SUPPORTING AND MANAGING EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE A DISABILITY, AND ISSUES SUCH AS MENTAL HEALTH, WORK RELATED STRESS, ETC.</li></ul><section>

Internal Audit Leadership Management

<p>Recruiting the right employee for your team is an incredibly important decision. The process itself can be both time-consuming and costly, so attracting and selecting the very best candidate for your position is an essential outcome. This one-day course provides a solid foundation for anyone new to recruitment or those seeking a refresher or update. The emphasis is on the use of a structured approach where good preparation and effective interviewing skills and techniques help maximise the success of your process, ensure consistency with your internal procedures, and minimise risk.</p>

<p id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">In a world focused on digital media, 24-hour news channels and social channels, it&rsquo;s really important to communicate with your audience &ndash; there are lots of opportunities to do this if you are interviewed by journalists. &nbsp;There&rsquo;s the chance to deliver expert comments or take part in in-depth features or give a quote about your business or organisation. The media wants to stay relevant and engaged with its audience and you can play a part in that and talk to your audience.</p><hr fr-original-style="" style="border-color: var(--border-muted); border-style: solid; clear: both; break-after: page; user-select: none; box-sizing: border-box;"><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">In our Broadcast Media Training Courses, we will teach you the best ways to share your story, how to answer those difficult questions and present yourself with confidence and style.

When something goes wrong, your every move is watched and then commented on online, putting you and your teams under even more pressure. &nbsp;So if the worst should happen and you find yourself or your company or business suddenly in the public eye, you need to be prepared.

In order to support the authenticity of your response it&rsquo;s important the people on the ground can talk to the public. And in the age of social media, if you&rsquo;re talking to the public, you&rsquo;re talking to the media. So the people dealing with the crisis are the people who should know how to communicate in a crisis. There are times when the top bosses must talk as they are accountable and are happy to demonstrate that level of responsibility.

It was great to have the opportunity to learn some new techniques and to gain more awareness of how I present myself. The most immediately applicable uses have been in reducing my “ums” and “ahs” and in trying to come to my point in a more succinct way. I’ve been cultivating this awareness in one-on-one settings; meetings and individual conversations.
