A patronising tone and a focus on assuming malicious intent behind absence that is unlikely to support good employee morale, motivation and engagement if approached in this way. Yes, there are people who swing the lead, but this video assumes the majority of people come from that place. In my professional experience they don't, and far better outcomes for all parties can be achieved by treating people fairly, kindly and yes firmly where necessary - as human beings.Response : Samantha, Thanks for your feedback. I wanted to assure you that it was not our intention for the tone to be patronising. I have spoken to our director this morning and we discussed the reasons for our approach to this video. Part 2 is meant to be watched after Part 1 of Absenteeism: Getting a Grip and is focused on the 'tougher cases'. It supports a conversation in regard to persistent/high level of absences, where there might be cause to believe that a regular pattern of absence has developed. The 4-minute guide that sits alongside this video highlights some practical conversation openers that define a supportive, wellbeing approach and reminds us that you should not assume malicious intent. If you don’t have access to the 4-minute reading guide do let me know by reply and I can forward it to you. If you would like to discuss the content of the video further, then please do email me; I would be happy to have a more detailed conversation with you regarding your feedback. As a team we value the feedback we receive and want to ensure that we respond in a practical and open way. Kind regards, Esther esther.mcvee@scottbradbury.co.uk

hadn't realised there were so many different ways to have a meeting

Nothing new presented in this video - just "prep for meetings" and "decide if you really need the meeting". It felt outdated.Response : Hi Kelly - thank you for watching and for your feedback. What did you think about the ideas of using walking meetings and choosing different meeting formats for different purposes? Preparing for meetings is always important and it's surprising how often people don't do it. Thanks again. Catherine
