A free seminar aims to help employers manage their employees’ absence more effectively.

Helen Straw, founder of Holmfirth-based The Personnel Partnership, will deliver the seminar, which is being held tomorrow in conjunction with the Brighouse Link network.

Two sessions will be held – from 10am to 12.30pm and from 1.30pm to 4pm – both at the offices of Sleigh & Story, Bradford Rood, Brighouse.

Helen, who has more than 20 years experience in HR and has helped many companies to successfully reduce absence levels, will address how sickness absence concerns can be best dealt with and provide guidance on the legal issues around employee sickness.

She said: “Absence because of sickness can put your business in a tricky situation, particularly if you have no policies in place for dealing with it.

“This seminar will give you lots of practical advice and you will leave armed with lots of tools and techniques to help you effectively manage sickness absence, whether it is intermittent, short term or longer term.”
