<p>Based on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's (FCO) human resources management
system, 41 FCO UK-based staff took sick leave related to stress in 2018. This does
not include staff who were absent but no sick leave reason is recorded against them.
This accounts for 0.85 per cent of FCO UK-based staff using our headcount figure as
of 31 December 2018 (4,839). Sick leave for reasons related to stress in 2018 accounted
for 10.5 per cent of total recorded sick days, and equated to 0.3 Average Working
Days Lost per person. The cost to the paybill of all sick leave taken by FCO UK-based
staff in 2018 was £3,386,787. Of this, the cost of sick leave taken for stress-related
reasons was £355,898.</p><p> </p>
