Some interesting articles such as:
Return-to-work interviews should normally be conducted by the employee’s immediate supervisor or manager. The interview identifies the cause of the absence and provides an opportunity to explore any particular problems the employee may have. They indicate to employees that their absence was noticed and that they were missed. Above all, they demonstrate that absence is a high priority for the employer and that stated policies are being put into practice.
Return-to-work interviews need to be carried out by managers after every instance of absence, without exception. Managers must be appropriately trained in how to conduct these interviews to help ensure high levels of fairness and consistency.
