Issue - meetings

The Committee had before it, and NOTED, a *report from the Corporate Manager for People, Governance and Waste providing the 6 month Establishment update.

The Officer outlined the contents of the report and stated the increased lost days due to sickness, turnover and the increased vacancies.

Consideration was given to:

·         The amount of vacancies nationally and the shortage of key workers

·         A pay offer was being negotiated

·         Staff engagement and development

·         Skills analysis

·         Whether the recruitment process could be improved

·         The apprenticeship scheme was a credit to the council

·         There were regular meetings with South West Councils to share best practice
