People
The People Plan has 6 key objectives. These objectives have been developed in consultation with colleagues across KFRS. We are using the People Maturity models to help us identify gaps against accepted best practice and to keep measuring benefits and improvements.
The 6 objectives are:
- To attract, identify, retain and develop high performing employees in order to best serve our customer.
- To enable the development of high - performance culture in which everyone is supported, rewarded, developed and managed effectively.
- Together continue to cultivate an environment of positive health and good wellbeing, where people are engaged and valued for what they do.
- To develop and support the growth of leaders to facilitate transformational change.
- Embed a supportive culture which is inclusive, positive, and fair which enables people to reach their potential.
- To support a work environment which promotes flexibility and harnesses the benefits of using the latest technology.
To support the delivery of these objectives we have identified 7 key areas of work:
Data
To improve collection and use of data to support workforce development. Creating business focused analysis of data to identify trends, areas for improvement and support performance
Sense of belonging
To further develop our workplace to support well-being, improve employee engagement and eliiminate bias or prejudice specifically in recruitment and promotion processes
