Managing employee absences has always been a reality for every business, but today’s hybrid and flexible work models as well as evolving employee entitlements have transformed how businesses track, manage, and support time away from work. With remote teams, flexible schedules, and evolving expectations around wellbeing, traditional absence management approaches are no longer enough.

With recent changes to workplace laws, rising wellbeing‑related absences, and new proposals affecting the Clerks Award, it’s more important than ever to understand your responsibilities and have clear, consistent processes in place.

In this webinar, we’ll explore both the fundamentals of absence management and the new considerations brought on by hybrid and flexible work environments.

In just 60 minutes:

• Attendance Patterns: Understand how hybrid and remote work are shaping attendance patterns
• Stay Compliant: Learn how the right to disconnect, remote‑work expectations, and employee entitlements impact your absence management responsibilities
• Clerks Award Changes: Get a simple, employer‑friendly breakdown of the new work‑from‑home proposals — what’s changed, what it means, and when you can lawfully decline requests
• Act Early, Manage Fairly: Pick up practical early‑intervention and performance management tactics to address attendance issues before they disrupt your business
