Issue - meetings

The Board was informed that the next meeting of the Shared Services Board (SSB) would be held on 9th December 2010.  The Director of Policy, Performance and Partnerships advised Members that a written update report on Shared Services would be provided at the meeting of the Performance Management Board to be held on 20th December 2010.  In the meantime he advised Members that business cases would be put forward to the SSB meeting for Policy, Performance and Partnerships and Human Resources, and that the “systems thinking” stage had begun for the Benefits Team. 

Members were advised that the Council had failed to recruit for the Programme Manager’s post for Shared Services; this would now be re-advertised internally.  The Director of Policy, Performance and Partnerships also informed Members that several problems, on a day to day operational level, had also been picked up  at a recent staff focus group, and these would be addressed as soon as possible.
