Disability and Investors in people logos
In order to assist the Council in achieving its key aims, Human Resources sets out to ensure that the Council not only meets its obligations as an employer but also has a workforce that is competent to deliver the required services in a safe, legal and non-discriminatory environment.

 

Recruitment

 
The Council aims to recruit, motivate and retain people of the right quality at the right time and in the right numbers to meet current and future needs of the Council. This work is to be performed in such a way as to stimulate and advance equality of opportunity by eliminating discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, disability, age, religious belief or sexual orientation.
 
The Council is responsible for the design and placement of all job recruitment and assists with the preparation of job descriptions and person specifications. Wide ranges of techniques are used including aptitude and personality assessments.
 
 

Personnel

  • To promote and sustain a good employee/employer climate which allows the Council's objectives to be met. Ensuring appropriate procedures exist for avoiding, or failing that, dealing with disputes, grievances and other problems. To ensure proper consultation and communication systems are in place for employees and that a meaningful exchange can occur.
  • To ensure employees are appropriately rewarded whilst meeting the Council's objectives cost-effectively.
  • The unit provides advice and guidance on all aspects of employment rights whether it is national or local conditions of service or employment legislation.

 

Training and Development

 
The unit prepares strategies, which maximise employee skills, knowledge and potential for the benefit of the Council and for personal development. By monitoring improvements in performance, that achieve quality of service, whilst maintaining employee motivation.
 
In order to ensure the Council meets its organisational effectiveness the assessment of training and development needs provides all employees with the opportunity to develop their skills and potential to the full.
 
In a similar way the unit undertakes training for elected members of the Council to ensure they can perform their duties as Councillors to their full potential.
 
The unit co-ordinates the opportunity for work experience for students and pupils of local schools and colleges who are seeking to broaden their knowledge of the work environment.
