In addition, managers were appraised through our performance management system. Following a review, this year the system was aligned more closely with the ILF values and, consequently, streamlined – making the whole process quicker and more effective. Throughout the year, we have continued to encourage and support our employees to undertake further qualifications to support their roles. This year, over a quarter (27%) of our workforce worked towards a further or higher education qualification. We have also continued to work in partnership with the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS). Monthly Joint Negotiating Committee meetings continued to be held with the union. In addition, PCS were invited to attend the monthly strategic and operational management board meetings – ensuring that both staff and their representatives had access to the ILF’s decision-making process. We also helped our employees better understand the needs of our users by introducing work placements at the ILF for disabled people. The placements give disabled people valuable work experience but also give our staff first-hand experience of the challenges they face. We continued to work closely with Portland College – a specialist residential college for people with disabilities and learning difficulties. This year, we committed to providing workshops about the work of the ILF for students in transition from care to living independently. We have worked hard to support the health and wellbeing of our workforce, and this year we saw a marked improvement. Sickness absence was within our target of nine days per person per annum at 8.4 days (8.3 days in 2008-09). We introduced a range of new activities to promote healthy living and continued to offer occupational health services, health check days and counselling sessions.

Strategic aim 4 Finally, our commitment to our staff continued to be recognised. We retained Investors in People (IiP) accreditation, increasing for the first time the level of achievement to the IiP bronze standard. We also maintained the ‘two tick’ symbol, awarded by Jobcentre Plus to employers who make positive commitments towards employing disabled staff. We also helped our employees better understand the needs of our users by introducing work placements at the ILF for disabled people. 25 Annual Report and Accounts 2009-10
