Absence management

UK businesses have been spending £620,000 every year on long-term employee sick leave, the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) has found.

Ellipse has entered the group income protection (GIP) market with the launch of its InteractPlus product which includes an integrated absence management system.
