Managers
People management made easy.

Three of the biggest challenges facing people managers today:

Decreased productivity.
Employee absence causes unexpected and sometimes significant strain on team resource, with even further productivity loss through time spent arranging/briefing agency cover and handling process admin.

Compliance and process management.
From the time an employee calls in sick to their return to work, line managers are expected to perform a number of extra duties on top of their role. This added responsibility comes with increased risk if processes are not followed correctly.

Boundaries and trust.
Expecting line managers to handle absence in the first instance creates a difficult conflict of interest.
Conscientious managers want employees to feel comfortable talking to them, but must also maintain professional boundaries, ensuring absence is genuine and practically assessing the impact on the wider team. Crucially, managers are not health professionals and shouldn't be expected to fulfil a role they have little to no training on.
How we help you solve them.

Clinical triage
Not only does GoodShape's self-serve absence reporting take pressure off line managers to handle absence on day one, our clinical triage service gives you and your employee a better idea of how long they'll be off for, and targeted care plans help them get back to work sooner.
Process management
GoodShape provides real-time notifications and absence data, putting less burden on managers' time.
We also help you ensure all processes are tracked and followed in a compliant manner, with people held accountable throughout.

Expert intermediary
Introducing a clinically trained third-party to handle day one absence mitigates competing priorities and emotions and ensures your employees get the best support.
We're not here to obstruct your relationship with your team members, we simply take care of the immediate admin to help you focus on productive conversations once your employee is feeling better.
“We would recommend GoodShape to other organisations who want to streamline processes and reduce absence.”
“... when we are alerted to
high levels of absence, such as musculoskeletal problems in the factory, we can proactively address them because we now have clear trigger levels in place.”
“Across 11,800 staff, GoodShape helped to recoup 33,040 working days within 12 months - or the equivalent of returning 144 full-time staff to work.”
“We estimate that we’ve saved £152,000 in terms of increased productivity and efficiency savings. This means that the absence service has provided a great return on investment, and having more employees available to work gives us a far greater opportunity to deliver a good service for our customers.”
