??Sick days taken increases by 41%
Sick days have risen by 41% over the past three years, as UK businesses struggle with productivity post-pandemic. Factors such as heavy workloads, high absenteeism, and low morale are impacting employee retention and job satisfaction, leading to more stress and burnout.
??Tell me about reflective practice
Organisations can work in complex, demanding and ever-changing environments. It’s about asking ourselves: what am I doing, and what am I not doing yet? That’s where being reflective comes in. It means working at different levels to understand why and how we do things, and the impact it has on ourselves and others.
