Absence Clinic
Optimising Early Intervention
HCB Group’s Absence Clinic dovetails with our Early Intervention Service by helping to achieve early notification of absences and improving the outcome of these cases to ensure the best possible experience for the employee. As our Early Intervention statistics show, the earlier the notification after date first absent, the higher the chance of achieving a sustainable Return to Work.
How does the Clinic work?
Our Head of Clinical Services will arrange a series of virtual meetings with your HR team, and as/when needed, insurer claims representatives. While some employers include Line Managers, this is usually led by the HR team. The meetings can be 1-2 hours (depending on the size of the company), and will follow this structured agenda:
- Welcome & Introductions
- Absence Horizon & pipeline
- Summary of cases currently under management
- Summary MI
- Emerging trends (if any)
- HCB AOB – eg. webinars, on site flu clinics, etc
What are the benefits of this service?
You will receive regular, practical and meaningful Absence Management Support which will optimise workforce attendance and help to improve employee relations and retention.
