Our actions for the future

During 2024 we will continue to review our pay and reward agenda and job evaluation processes to maintain fairness and consistency.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) practice is embedded into our values at GCC. As such, we will ensure that we remain up to date with the latest developments to reflect these within our policies and procedures. We will also sustain our encouragement and promotion of participation and membership of our staff networks.

We will continue to make improvements to our buildings to enable teams to work in a more agile way, including refurbishing our locality buildings to include ‘drop-in’ spaces so that staff have a quiet workspace that they can use nearer to their homes, as an alternative to their main work base, as well as to reduce commuting and business mileage.

We will also continue implementation of our revised flexible working hours scheme to encourage each service in the council to review their operating methodologies in light of potential opportunities offered by agile working, so that they better meet the needs of the business, customers, and staff members.
