Unreliable attendance, repeated “sickies,” and slipping performance standards don’t just frustrate managers — they drag down productivity, impact customers, and create resentment among your reliable staff. When poor behaviour isn’t addressed early, it quickly becomes the norm.

This webinar gives employers the practical tactics to reset expectations, tighten processes, and confidently address ongoing issues before they escalate.

In just 60 minutes:

• Clear Expectations: Learn how to set simple, upfront attendance standards so everyone knows what’s required
• Absence Management: Understand how to manage unplanned absences, spot patterns early, and apply consistent steps that reduce disruptions
• Tackle Ongoing Issues: Get practical, employer‑friendly performance management tactics to address repeat attendance problems before they escalate
• Lift Standards: Build a culture where reliability is the norm by reinforcing good behaviour and dealing with poor behaviour fairly and early

Whether you're managing a small team or a growing workforce, you'll learn how to handle leave and absences effectively — while avoiding the common mistakes that trip up many employers.
