CBI absence highlights

摘要

1. The direct costs of absence alone amounted to over ￡14bn across the economy in 2012. 2. The mean total cost for each absent employee in 2012 was £975, while the median was £622. 3. These figures are based on the salary cost of absent individuals and replacement costs - eg use of temporary staff or overtime working by other employees. The mean is pulled up by the relatively small proportion of employees on long-term absence.
