Unplanned absence clustering on Mon/Fri; net headcount -4

Absence and overtime are two ends of the same problem

Amber

Unplanned absence rose to 34.4% of leave, clustering on Mondays and Fridays (45.8% of the unplanned total). That backfill requirement, layered on downtime-recovery work, pushed overtime to 17,874 hrs — well above budget. Net headcount fell 4 (6 terminations vs 4 hires/promotions). Training delivery was strong at 184 interventions.
