That the report be noted.

Members received the Quarter 2 Workforce Information report for 2024/25.

Officers raised that there had been an increase in sickness absence; talking to colleagues across Wales, this seemed to be a National trend rather than specific to Neath Port Talbot. It was noted that this data had been shared with Senior Management Teams across the Council to enable them to identify the reasons for sickness absence across their services, and to ensure that sickness absence was being managed appropriately.

RESOLVED:

The report was noted.
