Councillor Tahir Rafiq, the Cabinet Member for Corporate Affairs and HR, presented the report which provided a summary of key performance and delivery in each department during quarter 1 2021-22. In response to Members’ questions, it was noted that sickness rates had decreased but were still high owing to the impact of Covid related issues. Staff turnover was above target and was being looked into via exit interviews. Figures could be provided regarding where rates were highest and it was noted that initiatives like the Real Living Wage later on in the agenda would help improve staff morale and hopefully reduce staff turnover.
