Minutes:

The Committee considered the report of Mrs Sandher which provided a progress update on the Workforce Strategy action plan.

 

Mrs Sandher advised that progress had been made on all areas within the action plan.

 

In response to questions from the Committee, Mrs Sandher advised that:-

 

·  The Council provided a range of benefits for staff and encouraged sustainable travel such as cycling and walking.  The recently introduced new car scheme was in addition to that list.

·  HR Officers had been actively promoting their payroll services to other authorities and had been in discussions with colleagues in East Kent but the authorities had decided to purchase their own payroll system.

·  Staff had not expressed their concerns over the loss of the park and ride to officers in HR but may have expressed it to their Managers.

·  The Workforce Strategy was due to be reviewed in 2019 and would be considered by this Committee in 2020. 

RESOLVED:  That the progress of the actions set out in the Workforce Strategy be noted.
