Here's the problem most leaders face;
↳ You’ve got deadlines to meet
↳ The team’s under pressure
↳ Productivity is dipping
↳ Morale is on the floor
And yet... you’re afraid to act.

Here’s what I want you to do:
➤ Hold regular absence review meetings — keep the tone supportive, not punitive
➤ Get Occupational Health input — not just GP notes
➤ Consider reasonable adjustments — but you’re not expected to do the impossible
➤ Use a capability process — separate from misconduct
➤ Document everything — every offer of help, every refusal, every outcome

And with it comes more employee obligations, more nuance, and more risk.
