According to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), more than a fifth of UK employers do not monitor and record sickness absence.
The DWP have released the findings from a quantitative survey entitled Health and well-being at work: a survey of employers.
A quarter of employers surveyed for the report said that sickness absence was a real barrier to productivity in their organisation. However, two out of every ten employers admitted they did not have a system in place for recording staff sick days.
The survey also found that, in general, large employers are more likely to have a higher incidence of sickness absence than medium-sized and small employers.
