4.2.1 Sickness Sickness reduced in June to 3.88% but increased in July to 4.53%, with the current run rate significantly higher compared to the same period last year. Sickness rate in the Planned Care Division is high at 5% and is having a significant impact on the Trusts overall sickness rate. Audits of the worst performing areas across each division have been completed to identify those areas that are managing sickness absence in accordance with Trust policy. Managers will be provided with guidance, support and direction on the correct application of the policy. Figure 32: * Trust standard is ≤ 3.0% 4.2.2 Statutory/Mandatory Training The statutory/mandatory training compliance rate was 82.74% in June and decreased slightly to 81.61% in July. A new and robust approach is being taken by the Trust against staff who continually fail to meet their contractual requirements for training. 4.2.3 Appraisal The appraisal compliance rate for June 84.22% and increased to 85.54% in July to reach the Trust target. Achieving and maintaining the Trust compliance rate is a priority, but it is also important that we ensure appraisals are carried out to a high standard and that they are meaningful. 4.2.4 Celebration of Success The Trust held its inaugural celebration of success awards ceremony in July, which was well received by all that attended, with winners from a range of departments and specialities. Awards were presented to employees and volunteers for the following categories: PRIDE of PRIDE Award - Cancer Office Team Patients’ Ally Award - Helen Anderson, Tissue Viability Nurse
