The Short-Term Employment Surveys (STES) are three statutory, quarterly surveys of private sector businesses. The surveys ask businesses for their number of employees (male/female/full-time/part-time) on a specified date (the second or third Friday of March, June, September or December). Online questionnaires are sent to a sample of approximately 37,000 businesses each quarter. The combined surveys cover all sectors of the private sector economy and all industries in England, Scotland and Wales (Great Britain) with the exception of 'agriculture, forestry and fishing' and 'private households'. Northern Ireland businesses are not approached via STES. The STES data feeds into the quarterly UK Workforce Jobs estimates published by the Office for National Statistics.

Linking to other business studiesThese data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research.

This report shows monthly numbers of NHS Hospital and Community Health Service (HCHS) staff working in NHS Trusts and CCGs in England (excluding primary care staff). Data is available as headcount and full-time equivalents and are available every month for 30 September 2009 onwards. This data is an accurate summary of the validated data extracted from the NHS HR and Payroll system.

In last month's publication we described some upcoming changes intended to be implemented in data published from January 2021 onwards. Two of these changes are related to improvements in processing and data quality routines that will feed through into the data presented. We also described a change to an additional resource we will be making available ahead of current timescales, featuring data relating to the main headline staff groups and the Nurses staff group. After seeking feedback on these proposals, we can confirm all the above will be implemented in data published on 28 January 2021. We welcome feedback on the methodology and tables within this publication. Please email us with your comments and suggestions, clearly stating Monthly HCHS Workforce as the subject heading, via enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk or 0300 303 5678.

In the first quarter of 2025, approximately 220,000 job resignations took place in the United Kingdom, compared with 271,000 in the previous quarter. The number of resignations in Q2 2022 was the highest number taking place in a single quarter during this provided time period, reaching 446,000. In most years, there is a noticeable trend of resignations peaking in the fourth quarter of the year and being at their lowest in the first quarter. There is also a significant fall in people resigning from their jobs after the 2008 financial crisis and after the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The Great Resignation The high number of resignations that took place after COVID-19 hit also occurred in the United States. Throughout 2022, approximately 50 million American workers quit their jobs in a trend dubbed 'The Great Resignation' In both the UK and U.S. the trend corresponded with a very tight labor market. After emerging from the initial COVID-19 lockdowns, UK unemployment declined from 2021 onwards, falling to a low of just 3.6 percent in August 2022. There were also numerous job vacancies, which peaked in May 2024 at 1.3 million, though by the end of 2024, both indicators have returned to more typical levels. Labor market concerns for 2025 One of the main concerns of the UK government regarding the labor market is economic inactivity, in particular the reason for this inactivity, Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people on long-term sick-leave, has increased substantially. At the start of 2020, there were approximately 2.12 million people economically inactive for this reason, with this increasing to almost 2.84 million by the end of 2023, with this declining only slightly to 2.77 million by the end of 2024. It is unclear if there is one overriding factor driving this surge, with possible causes including the prevalence of Long COVID, or the ongoing NHS crisis.

This is the latest compendium publication in the NHS Vacancy Statistics series containing vacancy related data for the NHS. Data from Trac Recruitment Management Software (Trac) has been incorporated into the series which increases the intelligence provided and further enhances the compendium nature of the publication. The figures included in this series therefore now provide four different views on recruitment information for the NHS. Data from NHS Jobs, the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) and Trac provide a range of proxy data sources for NHS vacancies. The series also includes management information related to vacancies within the NHS which have been collected by NHS England and NHS Improvement. Due to the complex nature of how NHS vacancy data is defined and collected, all data sources should be treated with a degree of caution. NHS Digital look forward to developing the compendium publication further for future iterations of the series and remain committed to providing the best, most accurate and useful information possible to support the NHS and to serve the public good. To help with the development of this publication, feedback is continually welcomed and can be sent to: enquiries@nhsdigital.nhs.uk with the subject heading ‘NHS Vacancy Statistics publication feedback’.

In 2024, the average cost for U.S. hospitals to make up for one registered nurse who left (i.e. hire and train a new nurse) amounted to ****** U.S. dollars.
