Report of the Chief Executive and the Service Manager Organisational Development.

The Chief Executive presented a report, which had been circulated prior to the meeting, informing Members of the current levels of sickness absence in the organisation.

The Chief Executive informed Members that while sickness absence levels had deteriorated from the previous position, this was largely due to a number of complicated long term sickness cases. As the organisation becomes smaller, the effect of such cases on sickness absence data increases.

The Chief Executive drew Members attention to sickness levels in the Council’s waste and parks and street care teams, which were continuing to manage sickness levels well.

RESOLVED:

To note the report.
