About the Session
Managing Absence with Confidence is a practical webinar for leaders in British Columbia’s seniors’ care sector. The session will examine how organizations can manage employee absences consistently, compassionately, and sustainably while responding to staffing pressures and protecting resident care.
Participants will learn about BC’s current sick-note and leave requirements, the different approaches required for innocent, culpable, and disability-related absences, and the importance of collective agreements and accommodation obligations. The webinar will introduce the four-step FAIR framework for conducting attendance conversations, supported by practical examples, a case study, and strategies for stay-at-work and return-to-work planning. Participants will leave with concrete actions they can apply within their organizations.
