Managing unplanned absence through illness or injury can be a complex issue

    Our specialist can provide extra support to help employees return to work.

    Most organisations have robust injury management strategies for workplace injuries, however when an employee is absent due to non-work-related injury or illness, there is not always the same level of support available.

    Losing staff through unplanned absences relating to personal illness or injury can materially impact business operations and employees who don’t have the support of insurances can struggle to recover and make ends meet.

    This can result in staff returning to work before they have fully recovered, and this increases the risk of workplace injury. Lockton designs injury and illness recovery programs to support recovery at work or return to work for non-work-related injury and illness.
