Portfolio Holder: Ian HoulderLead Officer: Wendy Canham

RESOLVED:

That the Workforce Strategy as contained in Appendix 1 to Report No: CAB/SE/18/022, be approved.

The Cabinet considered Report No: CAB/SE/18/022, which sought approval for a new Workforce Strategy.

The Workforce Strategy, attached as Appendix 1 to the report, set out the West Suffolk Councils’ vision for their people and identified the areas needed to focus on to achieve their ambitions.  It looked at the composition of the workforce and the current skills set and the skills needed for the future. It identified how the Councils would continue to recruit and develop their workforce and work with their communities to make sure the right people, the right skills and the right behaviours were in place. 

Councillor Ian Houlder, Portfolio Holder for Resources and Performance, drew relevant issues to the attention of Cabinet, including that the Strategy aimed to enable West Suffolk to be a confident, co-operative and high performing organisation in every aspect of its work addressing the needs of its customers and communities, together with promoting West Suffolk as an employer of choice.

The Cabinet commended the quality of the document and the outcomes expected to be achieved as a result of implementing the Strategy, as set out in Appendix A of Appendix 1.

RESOLVED:

That the Workforce Strategy as contained in Appendix 1 to Report No: CAB/SE/18/022, be approved.
