Absence and return to work

Practical guide

Prompt the return-to-work actionA return-to-work record should sit naturally after sickness absence, giving managers a structured way to record the conversation and next steps.
Keep Bradford Factor visibleBradford scores help highlight patterns, but they need context and follow-up rather than becoming a number on its own.
Evidence the follow-upAdjustments, actions, documents and notes should be visible later if HR, H&S or senior managers need to review the record.
