We all want to be able to provide the best support possible to our colleagues when returning following a period of absence, especially when it is associated with illness. It can be hard to know where to start and easy to worry you might get it wrong.

This lecture will help you better understand how to support and prepare both the individual and your workplace for a return to work, what the legal and HR considerations are and what resources may be available to help you make any accommodations in order to maximise success and help ensure that the whole team thrives.

While the focus will be on health related absence much can be extrapolated to any return following prolonged period of absence.
