Report of the Service Director, Human Resources and Organisational Development detailing the quarterly statistic relating to employment figures.

The Committee received and noted the report of the Service Director, Human Resources and Organisational Development detailing workforce data and quarterly statistics relating to employment data.

The Committee particularly noted the downward trend of sickness levels (7.43 days per employee) which was below the sector average (8 days).  An enquiry was made regarding how many staff were on long term sick and this was subsequently reported as being 58 employees (1.6% of the workforce) and it was noted that all these staff were being overseen by HR Business Partners with the relevant manager to have a return to work plan.  This figure included planned absence such as major operations as well as unanticipated illness.

It was agreed that this report could, in future, become an annual report and therefore the next report would be due at the July 2022 meeting.
