149.3 million working days were lost in the UK due to sickness or injury in 2021, costing over £100bn annually.
Statistics also show that, on average, absence can cost a business £656 each year, per employee. Supporting your staff and effectively managing sickness and the return-to-work process, could help to reduce sickness absences in your workplace.
These statistics related to private businesses, but it is equally a concern for charities, especially those with small staff and volunteer teams.
