Most managers avoid the most difficult conversations with employees on sick leave. It costs more than you think.
As Group CEO of MDCO, one of Norway’s leading occupational health providers, Pål Lillebø has worked closely with hundreds of managers and HR teams across industries. He also organises the Norwegian Sickness Absence Award.
He recently delivered a full-day course on communication during sickness absence follow-up. Participants rated it 10 out of 10. In this webinar, he condenses the key lessons into 30 minutes.
What will you learn?
- Understand what is really behind an absence without overstepping boundaries
- Ask questions that encourage employees to take responsibility rather than become dependent
- Be clear while maintaining a good relationship. It is possible, and you will learn how
- Balance care and expectations in the same conversation
The course covers four conversations that determine whether an employee on sick leave returns to work. You will get practical communication tools you can use the next day.
Who is it for?
People managers and HR professionals who want better tools for sickness absence follow-up. No prior knowledge is required. Offered free of charge by Preppio.
