New research from Aon Hewitt,
the global human resources arm of
Aon Corporation, shows that
employers are failing to get to
grips with the issue of sickness
absence
The Aon Hewitt Benefits and
Trends Survey, which polled 185
employers in the UK revealed that
employers are missing opportunities
both to improve the health of their
workers and to cut costs - mainly
due to a lack of focus on
understanding and measuring
sickness absence. A lack of
integration between absence and
healthcare strategies is thought to be
compounding the issue.
A third of those polled said they
did not know how many days
employees are absent through illhealth
annually. Of those who could
give a figure, 60% were not very
confident of its accuracy.
