INFORMATION
Background
1. In July 2005 the Cabinet approved a Workforce Strategy for 2005-15
2. Within the context of the vision, values and Community Strategy priorities set
out in the Council Plan, the Workforce Strategy for 2005 – 2015 identifies four
strategic themes that will drive a high performing workforce and council:
Clear Vision and Leadership
Modernisation and Improvement
Attract and Retain High Calibre People
Continuous Learning and Improvement
3. These strategic themes emerged from an analysis of external factors, the
current workforce, organisational issues as well as the future direction of the council.
The final section of the Strategy sets out a number of top-level objectives for each of
the four strategic themes.
4. The 10 year Workforce Strategy needed to be underpinned by a Workforce
Plan that translates the four themes into a number of tangible actions and targets.
