How do we intend to achieve our aims?

In order to deliver these aims over the next four years we have identified a series of key people activities. These will support some, or all, of the aims either directly or indirectly.

Data: to improve the 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 eliminate bias or prejudice specifically in recruitment and promotion processes.
Employee Experience: to promote diversity of thinking, encourage a culture of open debate, creativity and collective problem solving. To take the next steps towards engagement/participation so there is joint ownership of change.
Leadership: to continue to advance our leaders as role models who promote a culture of inclusion, professionalism and ownership. Through a coaching and continuous dialogue feedback enable everyone to have a voice, own their learning and focus on customer needs.
Talent & Career Management: to enhance our current processes so that they support effective workforce planning and provide a variety of opportunities for all colleagues to develop their potential.
Learning Environment: to support the learning of all by expanding our blended learning approach, building on professionalism and encouraging individual ownership of learning.
Contractual Flexibility: to explore how contractual flexibility could promote and encourage greater empowerment, support improved well-being and attract a greater diversity of applicants.

In the second section of this plan, these activities will be explored in more detail. We will examine what has already been and then identify specific pieces of work that will be undertaken in the next four years so that we can achieve our overarching aims.

An integral part of our plan will be how we measure ‘success’ and assure ourselves that we have met our aims. To do this we will use our newly designed ‘maturity models’.
