Review of HRCS Publications - annual and quarterly Sickness Absence in the NICS reports
HRCS publishes two complementary Sickness Absence in the NICS reports. The Quarterly Sickness Absence in the NICS report is published three times a year and provides analysis of sickness absence in the NICS over the last five quarters. The annual Sickness Absence in the NICS report provides analysis of sickness absence in the NICS and trend information over the last five years, Headline figures since 2002/2003 are also presented in the most recent report. Key findings are summarised in the Sickness in the NICS infographic.
The Review of these annual and quarterly reports is to ensure that they meet customer needs and are produced as quickly as possible through refining our processes and effectively using available resources. We are keen to gather feedback on the content and presentation of the reports from as many users as possible. A short questionnaire to help us gather this information, which should take no more than 10 minutes to complete, is available here.
The closing date for completion of the questionnaire is 15 October 2023.
Many thanks for taking the time to feed into this review.
