To receive the report of the Director of Resources (copy enclosed).

The Committee received and noted the report of the Director of Resources presenting Human Resources statistics for the period 1 October to 31 December 2018 (Quarter Three (Q3)). 

Statistics and updates relating to the following areas were detailed in the report:

·                 Staff Turnover;

·                 Recruitment, including vacancies;

·                 Agency workers – Appendix 1 to the report set out agency expenditure for Q3;

·                 Staff Sickness Levels;

·                 Attendance Management Compliance;

·                 Workforce Statistics – attached as Appendix 2 to the report.

·                 Exit Questionnaire Analysis.

·                 Future Model.

It was noted that as a consequence of the implementation of the Future Model, a hold had been placed on all non-essential recruitment.  There had been a moderate amount of recruitment during Quarter Two, with all internal and external appointments recruited to being on a fixed term or agency basis.  Human Resources (HR) continued to work with the Corporate Leadership Team and Ignite regarding implementation of the people, culture and change work streams under the Future Model.

Members noted that the overall staff sickness levels were 1.51 days per Full Time Equivalent and this was a significant reduction from Quarter One.

Councillor A S Fluker proposed that the report be noted, this was duly seconded and agreed.

RESOLVED that the contents of the report be noted.
