A major cost to employers is sickness absence. The most effective way to manage the cost of sickness absence is through an injury management programme. Keeping people at work is good for employers and good for employees. It can significantly reduce the overhead costs of recruitment, training, overstaffing and litigation.

CAe provides a comprehensive and integrated service for injury management. The focus is on maintaining people at work and returning those on sickness absence back into work. This is achieved through an early occupational health response to workplace injury and a management programme designed to minimise the impact of injury and to direct the recovery process towards full function and a return to work.

CAe has provided injury management services to companies around the East Midlands since 1997. These companies identify the significant benefits of investing in injury and absence management services as a specific strategy to reduce the costs of workplace injuries.
