10 February 2026

10.00am  - 11.00am

Managing sickness and absence is one of the most challenging responsibilities you can face, and it’s a particular pressure at this time of year when winter illness, post-holiday fatigue, and recurring absence place extra strain on your teams. 

Balancing legal compliance, including new UK Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) obligations, Fair Work Agency, employee wellbeing and business needs can be difficult without the right approach, especially when dealing with complex or ongoing absence.

To support you, our Partner, Citation, is hosting a FREE webinar offering practical, expert guidance on managing sickness absence effectively, navigating SSP rules, and understanding Fair Work Agency guidance, helping you reduce risk while keeping your people and your business protected.
