Central and local government

Around 9.6 days per employee are lost to sickness absence in central government each year; around 10.3 days are lost in local government. In the current economic climate, absence is placing significant and unnecessary pressure on budgets and resources. According to the CIPD, the common cause of absence in the public sector is stress. To manage this, it's important to have effective wellbeing and health services in place.
