What is the Total Cost of Absence Review?
The Total Cost of Absence Review is designed to help organisations understand the true financial impact of absence within their business, incorporating factors including:
- Sick Leave
- Regrettable Turnover
- Opportunity costs within insurances and other leave types

Did you know...
We often focus on workers’ compensation costs… yet they’re usually less than 10% of the total cost of employee absence.
How does it work?
Conducting a deep dive analysis of your data, you’ll receive an overview of the absence profile of your business.
You can then build a financial business case to identify the return on investment from inclusion of wellbeing programs designed to target the areas of greatest need within your business.
By identifying these other costs, we will develop a business case demonstrating the financial return on investment of intervention through the introduction of programs which will reduce the amount of absence, for example unplanned leave.
