The Director of Resources submitted a report asking Members to agree and support the Council’s corporate Human Resource (HR) priorities for the next 12 months.

The three priorities were listed as:

·         Recruitment and Retention,

·         Health and Wellbeing; and

·         Training and Development.

Members were reminded that the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and the Council’s return to normal service delivery is likely to have an impact across all the three priorities.

In addition to the above, members were also recommended to establish a Working Group to work alongside the Chief Executive and the Head of HR to review the Council’s pay structure, address recruitment and retention difficulties and any possible link to the Council’s salary levels.
