Despite some early reservations amongst doctors and employers, the government’s fit note scheme does seem to have had a positive impact on absenteeism by helping employees get back to work.
Launched a year ago, the fit note scheme was designed to help employees, who would otherwise be off on long-term sick leave, return to work in some capacity by allowing their GPs to say which aspects of their jobs they can still perform.
According to a study conducted by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), 70% of British GPs believe fit notes have helped their patients make a phased return to work. 61% of GPs also somewhat or completely agree that fit notes have improved the quality of their discussions with patients about returning to work.
The most effective way to target and reduce absenteeism in your organisation is to implement an absence management solution such as LeaveMaster.
