Share your views on the draft Workplace Plan
“Your people are your greatest asset.” This is a quote from one of the Quality Scotland assessors who was part of the Recognised for Excellence assessment team. 
It sums up why the Council is developing a new Workforce Plan. The aim of the plan is to ensure the Council maintains a skilled, flexible, high performing, motivated and well managed workforce.
As the Council continues to face challenges from our ever growing population, constrained budgets and pressures to reform it is even more important to ensure we have the right people, with the right knowledge, skills and behaviours in the right jobs.
A draft Workforce Plan has been prepared outlining:
- Where we are now – the council’s workforce profile
- What is driving change – analysis of future workforce needs
- Where we want to get to – analysis of the gaps
- How we are going to get there – the actions
The draft Workforce Plan has been issued to the Council Trade Unions for formal consultation.
It is also now available for comment from staff on the Council’s Consultation Hub along with a summary and a short questionnaire.
The Workforce Plan will set the Council’s priorities for HR policies and staff training and development agenda for the next four years. This consultation on the draft plan is your opportunity to contribute your views on these priorities so do visit the Consultation Hub to read the plan (or its summary) and complete the short questionnaire.
