The Service Lead – Human Resources introduced the report and responded to members’ questions thereon. 

Councillor Power drew members’ attention to the age profile of the council as outlined in Table 6 of the report appendix and requested a view about whether this should be added to the council’s risk profile.  Following discussion, it was agreed that further investigation was required as to how best it could be added to the risk register.

Further to a request, the Service Lead advised that he would give further consideration to providing additional, appropriate benchmarking data in future committee reports.

Following discussions, it was agreed that a report be submitted to the September meeting on the results from the current employee attitude survey and that this report include details of the current employment package (in terms of annual leave entitlement and other benefits etc) available to employees.

RESOLVED:

1.         That the report be noted.

2.         That in noting the age profile of the council’s staff and having regard to the current national employment situation, the risks to the council be investigated further and added to the risk register.

3.         That an update report be submitted to the meeting of the committee on 27 September 2022 regarding the current staff attitude survey and related matters.
