All SME’s experience staff absences from time to time. It is essential to manage absence in an appropriate way that is fair to the company and its employees. Absence from work can usually fit into either of the following categories – planned and authorised absence (such as holidays etc) or unplanned/unexpected.
Unplanned absences can cause major disruptions in the workplace. The employer is unaware of the absence just before it happens, making it difficult to find cover arrangements. As a business owner, it’s common to feel powerless over how to deal with unexpected absences and the impact they have on your work. Our small business HR outsourcing services can help and guide you through these situations with the appropriate HR solutions.
A job description is not only a vital document used during recruitment processes but also a management tool to refer to throughout an individual’s employment.

Our HR processes can help your employees focus on what they need to achieve to support the company in reaching its collective goals and objectives.
