How to Conduct a Return to Work Interview

As a business owner or manager, you will have encountered absence concerns in your organisation, whether it is short-term, persistent or long-term absence.

Absence has a detrimental impact on businesses, particularly SMEs where the impact is greater as other colleagues are left to pick up the work, which in turn affects the customer. I see this first hand with existing clients and other business owners I speak to.

I agree with various research which confirms that the return to work interview process is the most effective way to combat short-term absence. I’ve put this into practice in the organisations I have worked for and supported, and have seen real tangible results.

This FREE eBbook provides you with a framework and structure to hold return to work interviews with employees, and there’s also an example form which can be used to document the conversation with your team members.
