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.
