Minutes:
10.1 Cllr Lynden Stowe sought approval for a refreshed Workforce Strategy which will support the delivery of the Council Strategy ‘Building Back Better in Gloucestershire’ 2022 to 2026.
10.2 The Workforce Strategy was designed to support the delivery of the council’s Building Back Better in Gloucestershire Strategy, setting out how the Council would ensure a workforce within Gloucestershire County Council which was best equipped to effectively deliver on the Council’s strategic priorities and services.
10.3 The Workforce Strategy was structured under the pillars of Capacity, Capability and Culture. The sections under each of those pillars helped to describe what the council planned to focus on achieving over the period until 2026, from being recognised as a modern, attractive employer which could recruit and retain the right people; to developing a positive, diverse and inclusive culture and developing people. The vision as set out in the strategy was for Gloucestershire County Council to be “a great place to work for everyone” and the strategic approach provided the council with a clear pathway to achieving this.
10.4 189 staff members were currently studying towards the completion of various apprenticeships.
Having considered all of the information, Cabinet noted the report and
RESOLVED to:
1. Approve the Workforce Strategy set out in appendix one.
2. Delegate authority to the Director of People and Digital Services in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Finance and Change to develop an implementation plan aligned to business planning for the Human Resources
