Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report on the findings of the Council employee survey for 2010 and supporting action plan.  Members agreed that in future it would be helpful to have a comparison of the results with the previous year.  The Director of Policy, Performance and Partnerships explained that questions were not always the same, making this difficult.  However, he agreed that this would be useful and would feedback the Board’s comments to the relevant Head of Service.

Members also discussed the issue of bullying and the Director of Policy, Performance and Partnerships confirmed that this had been investigated in detail and appropriate action had been taken.

It was also noted that another area of concern arising from the survey was that only, 56% felt that the organisation engaged with them when undergoing change and that this would be an area of focus in the action plan.  However, when checking the action plan, this was not in fact the case.  The Director of Policy, Performance and Partnerships assured Members that this was being addressed, but would feed this omission back to the Head of Service.

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the Employee Survey 2010 findings and action plan be noted; and

(b)       that the Personal Development Review figures be brought to the           Performance Management Board as part of the corporate set.
