in the first of three posts highlighting some of the key findings of the survey, we look at trends in UK employers' provision of line manager absence training (XpertHR Benchmarking subscription required to access each of the following links):
- Half of employers surveyed by XpertHR provide absence management training for all managers.
- Around one in five employers does not provide line manager absence management training. When asked why, by far the most common reason is that HR takes full responsibility for managing absence.
- Only a minority of employers have a specific annual budget allocation for line manager absence management training.
