Introduction to the Role of the Committee and Workforce Issues for the Year Ahead

Minutes:

Kevin Gordon, Assistant Director – Professional Services, welcomed Members to the Employment & Appeals Committee, and provided a brief overview of the role of the committee in the new municipal year.

 

The remit of the Committee was to review staffing and personnel matters. Previously, areas of focus included:

 

  • Sickness Absence
  • Staff Wellbeing
  • Employee Engagement
  • Policy changes e.g. revisions to the SBC Redundancy Policy
  • Agency Workers/Spend

 

Mr Gordon confirmed that he would shortly be leaving his post at Slough Borough Council, and that there would be a new Assistant Director appointed, who would oversee Human Resources and Organisational Development. The new AD would be invited to attend future meetings, and would also be consulted when formulating the Work programme for 2015/16.
