I'm currently 6 months into a sickness management procedure. Staff concerned, has reacted violently to an attempt to manage their sickness absence and is not co-operating. (This reflects their personality rather than an aspect of the way it has been conducted)
Situation has become extremely personal with their fury directed at me. Sickness absence has increased since procedure used. Performance at work (on the rare occasion...) has gone down drastically. Team morale was great.... now shit.
I don't feel we have made any progress whatsoever. From a business point of view, use of the policy has had a terrible impact. From staff member's pov it's been stressful and turned a member of staff who was previously 'difficult' into out and out confrontational. Personally it's been horribly stressful.
I met with the previous line manager last week who told me she had gone through exactly the same process, exactly the same experience....same staff reaction, same increased sickness, lack of co-operation..... and knew that it had also happened in the previous job. So this one member of staff has spent years cycling in and out of sickness management causing huge distress to all and maximum disruption. Financial impact is huge. HR are unwilling to take a final step towards dismissal. Is this normal? I'm struggling to feel anything positive about HR management policies.
