Absence Matters Limited

Absence Matters is dedicated to helping employers and insurers mitigate the financial risks associated with sickness absence.

This is achieved by applying our long experience in this area and by using internationally acclaimed and evidence based software to predict absence durations, and case management software that produces detailed reports.

Working directly with employers, or in partnership with their advisers or insurers, the Absence Matters approach can:

Dramatically improve Wellness and Attendance through the use of early intervention for medical conditions where this is known to be helpful for both employees and their employer
Give line managers and Human Resources professionals an immediate, Day 1 forecast of the likely cost of sickness absence. This facilitates effective budgeting and encourages managers to become more fully involved in the absence management process
By tracking predicted costs and comparing them with the actual outcome, enable the assessment of the return on investment of the programme itself and the cost-effectiveness of other initiatives
Produce a range of high level data such as Bradford Factors and overall absence rates which can be critical for cost and risk management
Immediately identify ‘red flag’ cases and produce alerts in the case of conditions that require special intervention and the collation of detailed medical evidence
Absence Matters is part of the Health Claims Bureau Group which, for over 25 years, has been at the forefront of new thinking on absence management.
