At the last Overview and Scrutiny Commission meeting held on 13 June 2022 queries were asked regarding the “Staff Sickness Levels with Covid 19 and the Effects of Working from Home report.  The following responses have been provided:

 

Establish whether CBC took part in the Local Government Association survey in January 2022:

 

CBC feeds into South East Employers (SEE) who submit on behalf of local authorities so it is likely the Council did participate in this survey.

Year

Number of individuals referred or self-referred for counselling sessions

 

Number of individuals who attended counselling sessions

Number of individuals who are office based

Number of individuals who are non-officed based

NB: It will be noted from the table above that the number of individuals taking up counselling was less than those who were referred/self-referred for each year.

 

Question for next staff survey:

 

HR will be contacting the Communications Team to request that an additional question is added to the staff survey in the autumn around what the Council could do to improve the wellbeing of staff that the Council is not currently providing.
