How much does sickness absence cost your organisation?

This has always been a difficult question to answer, however increasingly there is good quantitative research data available that allows reasonable estimates to be made. Research conducted by a leading disability insurer found that sickness absence could cost UK businesses as much as 16% of payroll. However, the majority of employers do not measure or analyse their staff absences and the related costs to their business.

Cost data can be a powerful way of grabbing the attention of senior managers in your organisation.

By feeding in real data or informed estimates to our Cost of Absence Calculator below, we can provide you with an indication of your likely absence costs.
