As the UK’s largest not-for-profit employment organisation, we understand how important it is to keep your most valuable asset working well. That’s why our Staying in Work service offers you a comprehensive absence management and retention resource. We help employers tackle medium and long term absences, and to avoid absence by supporting employees who risk going on sick leave because of a health or disability issue.
We focus on working out the best way to help someone return to work, either with your organisation, or redeployed to another and design a practical, holistic support package to fit your needs.
We also provide recruitment services from our national network of Employment Offices including a comprehensive programme to assist people into the workplace.
