Driving high performance: effective absence and performance management for 2026

Performance management is no longer a once-a-year conversation, it’s an ongoing process that links individual contribution to organisational success. When approached strategically, performance management fosters accountability, enhances communication, and builds a culture where employees understand expectations and are supported to excel.

Absence management plays an equally important role in maintaining productivity and supporting employee wellbeing. Managing absenteeism proactively helps organisations minimise disruption, uphold fairness, and maintain a positive working environment.

In this 45-minute webinar, participants will be guided through the end-to-end performance management process, explore effective strategies for managing underperformance, and review key legislative considerations. The session will also share best-practice approaches to managing absenteeism, equipping employers and managers with practical tools to strengthen performance and attendance across their teams.
