About this course

There are many reasons an employee may have had an extended period of time off work.

Everyone’s circumstances and experiences differ, but whatever the reason an employee has been away from the workplace, the thought of returning for some may feel overwhelming or daunting. They may be excited about seeing their work colleagues again and picking up from where they left off, but on the other hand, some may be concerned, or be worried that they're not quite ready to go back.

Going back to work can be particularly challenging for people who already suffer from anxiety or other mental ill-health problems. It may even be overthinking about going back that’s the problem, not the actual return to work itself. Yet, when we embrace change, we often surprise ourselves and cope much better than we expected!

With that in mind, this course looks at a few practical things that employers and returning staff can do to make make the transition as smooth as possible.

The training is commendable in particular for New Managers. It reinforces the content of our Policy and Procedure. The Returning to Work in different scenarios is of significance. It is beneficial in that it provides additional information.

Good for long term sickness cases
RatingRatingRatingRatingRating

Really good overview for managers. Particularly good for staff returning from long term sickness or challenging illness or injury. Only thing perhaps not reflected sufficiently is that there needs to be a discussion and agreement regarding reasonable adjustments - some staff think that anything they ask for should be given and although we will always do our best as we want to welcome staff back to work sometimes we cannot accommodate everything.

Why is this training important?

Compliance

It's important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.

This Returning to Work Training course has been designed to help ease employees back to work after a long period away from the workplace.

The main piece of legislation this course touches upon is the Employment Rights Act 1996. The act deals with the rights that employees are entitled to when they work, including unfair dismissal, reasonable notice before dismissal, time off rights for parenting, redundancy, and more.

This course mainly focuses on sections 79 to 85 of the Employment Rights Act, which covers the right to return to work.

Business benefits

From an employers point of view, this course is extremely beneficial to their organisation as it provides the user with a strong understanding of how to smoothly transition back to work after a prolonged period of time off.

The course also covers legislation surrounding the employees rights to return to work, which can help your have an understanding of how to work towards compliance with the Employment Rights Act 1996.

Not only can this training help your employees with a smooth transition back to a full working schedule, it can also be used as a tool to boost their confidence, as they may already be nervous about coming back to work.
