Consideration was given to the report of the Head of Organisational Development.

 

The Head of Organisational Development spoke to the report which provided the Executive with the opportunity to consider and challenge the draft Workforce Strategy 2021-2026. The Officer outlined the key points of the report and referred to Appendix 1 which detailed the Draft Strategy.

 

In response to a question raised, it was confirmed that the action plan would be monitored through Corporate Overview and Executive.

 

The Leader also asked how the consistency of the workforce engagement would be monitored. The Head of Organisational Development advised that the first year was focussed on agile working, and there is a dedicated engagement plan to support. This included webinars for managers and workshops to engage staff - the processes would be monitored/ discussed by the Corporate Leadership Team. There is also a Corporate Communication Plan which includes a dedicated element for staff.  The Officer added that the processes in place would continue to be reviewed and there was an annual review of the agile working arrangements which would engage the workforce.

 

RESOLVED that the report be accepted and the proposed draft Workforce Strategy 2021-2026 be supported prior to be presented to Council for endorsement (Option 1).
