The 6 ways to handle team members off sick all the time are also very useful when you have to handle team members who are genuinely off sick. It is important to understand what you and the business can do to help them recover and get back to work as quickly as possible.

The first step when having to deal with employees off sick is to think about the causes of the sickness and see if there is anything that you or the company can do to prevent or reduce sick leave. This could be helping employees live healthier lives, putting on yoga classes at lunch or creating a small gym.

The day here and day there off sick, in my opinion, are much more of a management issue that two weeks off because of something more serious – because nearly all employees are genuinely ill if they are taking longer period off work sick.

When thinking about how to reduce team members off sick, it is very worth taking an honest look in the mirror. Is there anything that you are doing that is making the environment at work stressful, are the team members overloaded with work, under supported and so on.

Changing your approach or providing more support, reducing stress on particular team members can all have a very positive impact on the team, and the results they produce.

A vital tool to handle team members always off sick is a written sickness policy. This sets out the expectations for the employees and gives you a set of guidelines to help you manage the situation positively.

Keeping records of when employees are off sick moves the conversation from a opinion led to a factually led conversations when you have to deal with employees off sick.

When you manage team members always off sick, make sure you always book in a return to work meeting. This is a fact finding meeting. If the sick leave is bogus, always having this meeting makes it much harder to take a day off without being ill.

When you have to manage employees off sick, take action. Don’t delay or procrastinate. There is a lot that you can do to reduce the pressure on you and the team and ensure employees don’t take a lot of time off sick without good reason.

Take action quickly, confidently and with consideration.

In 30 years of working, I've never taken a sick day from work when not sick. Hire ethical people and treat them well, and the issue should solve itself.

Got some good tips thanks, I have a problematic employee who is sick 2-3 days a week for the past month, different reason every time and it is always one day or half a day only. If he truly has issues I want to help as his manager, but even the other team members do not believe his excuses. I don't want to speculate, but you gave me some good ideas so thank you.

I use to get sick once a year but now that I work at a hospital I get sick more often. Can I blame my work environment?

You are very wrong about one factor, single day sick days don't mean they are any less severe compared to having a week off, that's called speculation which you have just said, not to
