Aberdeen City
Council is progressing its plans to equip and develop its workforce of the
future.
Last week the Staff Governance Committee
welcomed the overarching plan for delivery of its approved workforce strategy –
part of the Target Operating Model (TOM) 1.2 – and for engaging with employees
as the council moves through the next phase of transformation on how we develop
our future workforce together.
The workforce delivery plan describes
how having the right structures, skills, people and support, and supporting
people to work in the right location for the demands of their role and the
needs of our customers, can help enhance services whilst improving efficiency.
Staff Governance Committee Convener,
Councillor Neil Copland, said: “We welcome the progress made already in
developing our workforce of the future.
“The work that has been done so far in
developing Guiding Principles and also in supporting policies and strategies
across the council has been fantastic and, with this new plan in place, can
continue over the coming years.”
Vice-convener Councillor Gill Al-Samarai
said: “Our staff helped to create our Guiding Principles and we look forward to
hearing more ideas from them about how, as an organisation, we can deliver best
for the people and place of Aberdeen as we move through our transformation
journey.”
