Exploring line managers’ perspectives on using data in managing sickness absence: a qualitative study
The findings suggest that for line managers to use data to manage sickness absence appropriately, the data must be easily accessible, simple for line managers to understand and provide line managers with a sufficient overview of sickness absence in their work units. It is also important to consider other factors affecting sickness absence, such as the work environment, when aiming to reduce sickness absence.
