Next week's Cornwall Council Human Resources Committee receives a report which tells us:
"The Council lost 142,930 working days to sickness absence in 2010/2011 which equates to 9.23 days lost per employee using the BV 12 methodology. This compares to 9.49 days lost per employee last year and is equivalent to a reduction in sickness absence of over 7000 days."The same meeting is also due to receive a presentation on "staff morale and engagement." Might these issues be related?

Perhaps you should ask for a copy of the survey results and whether it will be considered by the Cabinet in a public meeting?
