To consider a report of the Executive Councillor (Customer Focus)

The Executive last adopted a five year HR Strategy on the 11 December 2006. A high level summary of the effectiveness of the previous strategy is shown at appendix 2 of the report. A HR Strategy is designed to provide direction for the management and development of people across the organisation. It is an over-arching document that when linked to Council priorities and business planning processes informs workforce planning and development, employment policy development, procedures and practice.

The HR Strategy attached at appendix 1 has been developed in conjunction with Council directorates, and has been the subject of consultation with the recognised Trades Unions, a range of partner organisations, Corporate Resource Management & Governance Scrutiny Committee and has the endorsement of the Council’s Corporate Leadership Team.

The Executive Meeting is recommended to approve the Human Resources Strategy.
