Sickness absence costs Norwegian businesses millions every year.
After more than 300 meetings with large Norwegian organisations, one thing surprises us: most do not make use of the options available to them as employers. Not because they do not want to, but because the rules are unclear and the risk of making a mistake feels high.
There is a better way.
We invited HR leaders and business leaders to a free lunchtime webinar with Thorkil H. Aschehoug, an employment lawyer and partner at Sands, and one of Norway’s leading experts on employment law and sickness absence.
He recently wrote a widely discussed article in Dagens Næringsliv about how employers have far more options than most realise.
