Track how many eligible absence cases reach a defined successful outcome, such as an approved return-to-work plan or completed accommodation. The tool reports conversion, remaining cases, and the completions needed to reach a target rate.
Conversion rate = completed cases ÷ eligible cases × 100; completions needed = ceiling(eligible × target rate) − completed
The conversion rate summarizes workflow completion against a clearly defined outcome. It does not by itself measure employee health, case quality, or policy compliance.
Define “eligible” and “completed” before comparing periods. Changing either definition will break trend comparability.
With 160 eligible cases and 112 completed outcomes, conversion is 70%. Reaching an 80% target requires 16 more completed cases.
Use one operationally meaningful outcome, such as a completed return-to-work plan, and apply it consistently.
No. The calculator rejects that input because completions must come from the eligible case population.
The required total is rounded up so the target rate is actually reached, then current completions are subtracted.
Include them only if your measurement design treats the cohort consistently; otherwise use cases old enough to have reached an outcome.
Not necessarily. Timeliness, suitability, employee experience, and compliance should be reviewed separately.
