Absenteeism costs the UK economy £13 billion a year – about £600 a year per employee, according to industry group Business in the Community (BITC). See the recent BBC news clip for the latest trends in “absence management.” http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/1/hi/northern_ireland/6980311.stm

Mercer, a human resources consultancy, says the direct costs for work absence and paid leave equal approximately 15 percent of total payroll. And indirect costs often amount to more than 3 times that number.

And while absenteeism in the workplace is nearing record highs, companies large and small often compound the problem with inefficient and ineffective absence management processes and systems. Without a fully integrated system that addresses all constituencies involved in absence management, companies lack the means to improve service to its employees while at the same time delivering real bottom-line cost savings.

Oracle and KCRS, Inc. – a global provider of absence management and productivity improvement systems – have teamed up to present a half-day session to discuss how companies can utilize KCRS’s PIHMS® knowledgeware to:

• Measure, track analyze and manage absence and the return-to-work process
• Reduce lost work days and lower salary continuation costs from unscheduled leave
• Improve connectivity and communication among all business units and stakeholders
• Seamlessly integrate with and complement Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise applications
• Mitigate risk and ensure compliance with all UK and EU employer regulations

PIHMS® has a proven track record – forged with Fortune 500 companies – of reducing absentee costs by at least 5-25 percent, and delivering ROI within 12 months of startup.
