Absence management for you and your team
High absenteeism costs you time, money and nerves?
- Are layoffs on the rise?
- Are processes disrupted by missing team members?
- Is your mood suffering from tension and overload?
Absenteeism has many causes. Not everything is in your hands – but there are influencing factors that we can look at together.
Leadership as the key

High levels of absenteeism are often a reason to reflect on your own management style:
- Do you promote a healthy team climate?
- Do you make clear decisions and give regular feedback?
- Are you aware of your values and inner drivers?
- Do you have a vision of what the collaboration should look like?
In individual coaching, we explore these questions together – solution-oriented and with a view to concrete measures.
Create clear structures
Unclear roles and responsibilities lead to tensions. We’ll take a look together:
- Does everyone know their tasks and responsibilities?
- Are there structural weaknesses that fuel conflicts?
In the team process, we work together to develop clear rules and greater transparency – this reduces friction and increases satisfaction.
Other influencing factors
- Are the employees deployed in the right place?
- What role do the working conditions play, e.g. break times, overtime, working atmosphere?
- Are successes celebrated, is appreciation shown?
- Do you live a respectful feedback culture together ?
Some conflicts are obvious, others are hidden – both have an impact on health and motivation. Conflict moderation or team development can create space for trust and personal responsibility again.
Turning groups back into teams
Especially in times of working from home, a real team spirit cannot be taken for granted. However, collegial cooperation, shared values and open communication strengthen collaboration and counteract absences due to illness.
My approach: I accompany managers and teams through change processes – with systemic questions, clear impulses and without getting lost in problem analysis. I support you in developing practicable solutions – so that real team cohesion can be lived again.

What you might want to know...
1. What is absence management?
Absence management encompasses all measures that help to reduce sickness-related absences in companies or teams, strengthen health-promoting structures and treat employees with respect - even in the event of longer absences.
2. Why is professional absence management important?
Frequent or long absences put a strain on teams, increase the pressure on the employees present and cost time and money. At the same time, they are often a sign of structural or interpersonal problems. Dealing with them in a targeted manner relieves the pressure and strengthens the ability to work of all those involved.
3. Who is your service suitable for?
I work with managers, board members, managing directors, teams or HR managers who are looking for support in dealing with stress, conflicts, reintegration or a high sickness rate. Preventative processes to strengthen health and communication within the team are also possible.
4. What exactly happens in a collaboration?
Depending on the situation, I accompany discussions with affected employees, moderate team processes, analyze stress factors or support managers in dealing with sensitive issues. The process depends on your needs - confidential, solution-oriented and individual.
5. How can absenteeism be reduced in the long term?
This can be achieved through a combination of clear communication, leadership with a sense of proportion, early clarification of conflicts and health-promoting work organization. I support you in developing realistic and sustainable measures.
6. How sensitively are confidential issues handled?
Confidentiality is a matter of course for me - both towards employees and within the management team. I work respectfully, professionally and independently.
7. What does the coaching cost?
Depending on the scope, target group (manager, team or organization) and format (consulting, moderation or coaching), you will receive an individual offer. Please contact me for a non-binding initial consultation.
8. How quickly is support possible?
If there is an urgent need (e.g. upcoming discussions, acute conflicts), short-term appointments are also possible. For longer-term processes, we plan a suitable framework together.
9. How does this benefit me as a manager or organization?
Good absence management strengthens trust, reduces absenteeism, increases team satisfaction and relieves managers. It makes a key contribution to healthy collaboration - even in challenging times.
