Absence Management Software UK: Buyer's Guide (2026)

A practical buyer's guide for UK HR and People teams choosing absence management software in 2026. Most tools administer absence after it happens — logging sickness, scoring the Bradford Factor and triggering return-to-work workflows. This guide shows why that only solves half the problem, and how a prevention-first platform tackles the root-cause health risks driving your sick days.

Bradford Factor & Absence Management Software: A Prevention-First Buyer's Guide (UK, 2026)

Bradford Factor tools tell you which absence patterns to flag, not why they're happening. This guide explains how the scoring works, how UK employers set trigger thresholds defensibly, what e-days and GoodShape do and don't cover, and how a prevention-first layer identifies risk before employees take time off.
