• Webcast: How companies in the UK are rethinking absence management

    |

    On 26 February 2026, we will be holding this exclusive webcast to unveil the results of our 2026 Absence Management Survey.

    Understanding and managing employee absence is more critical than ever for HR professionals. Persistent absence rates and increased costs are having a growing impact on businesses' bottom line. With the backdrop of the UK Government’s Keep Britain Working Report outlining the scale of the challenges facing the UK, employers must take the lead.

    Join us and take away: 

    • Highlights from the 2026 Absence Management Survey - Understand the key trends driving absence rates and the challenges employers face. 
    • A discussion with Paula Coffey, Director of Claims, Rehabilitation and Medical Services at Unum to get her perspective on what is driving long term workplace absence, the patterns Unum is seeing across UK organisations and the practical actions that lead to better absence and return to work outcomes.
    • Practical guidance for employers – What can you do now to be successful in lowering absence rates, reducing costs and building a healthier and more productive workforce. 
    • A personalised scorecard – If you haven’t yet taken the survey, it’s not too late. It takes no more than 15 mins to complete and you’ll get your own scorecard which will compare your organisation with your peers.
