FTE Lost<br />
Reasons for Sickness Absence v FTE's<br />
lost<br />
When the number of FTE's lost due to<br />
sickness absence is analysed by reason for<br />
absence, the highest loss remains 'Unknown<br />
causes - not specified' with 39.40 fte lost. HR<br />
acknowledge this creates concern as it<br />
means that staff are not providing their<br />
absence reason or it isn't being recorded by<br />
their manager / supervisor. • To counteract<br />
this as previously presented to the <strong>Trust</strong><br />
<strong>Board</strong>, the <strong>Trust</strong> as part of their contract<br />
review <strong>and</strong> renewal process with McKesson<br />
have requested that this reason be removed<br />
from the reporting options. Therefore<br />
'unknown •causes/ Not specified' will be<br />
removed from the option list from <strong>November</strong><br />
providing greater clarity on the reasons for<br />
absence allowing for a review of potential<br />
proactive measures to be taken in reducing<br />
sickness absence.<br />
In order to further improve the accuracy of<br />
sickness absence reporting <strong>and</strong> recording, HR<br />
have incorporated 'effective recording<br />
processes' in their ' Essential Skills for<br />
Managers ' training programme. The effects<br />
of this training on the actual reported data may<br />
take time to show a demonstrable change.<br />
Directorates must not only ensure that<br />
managers record absence correctly within the<br />
weekly absence returns but also that returns<br />
are submitted in a timely way.<br />
