Issue - meetings

Cabinet were presented a report* which provided an update on both the Establishment of the Council together with its performance. It was noted that this report should be read in conjunction with the functions of individual officers highlighted in the Constitution. This built upon information shared in February 2022 and September 2022.

The following was discussed:

-        In June 2022 Mid Devon District Council received the Petroc Employer of the Year award.

-        The Council had experienced higher levels of sickness absence with Covid-19 being a factor.

-        Turnover for the start of 2022/23 had seen an upward track however this had dropped off since September.

-        Digital exit interviews had been launched.

-        Asked why staff were not attending exit interviews, it was explained that a digital exit interview format had been launched which should mitigate this. 

-        It was noted that some employees may not want to leave comments and it would be reasonable for an exit interview to not be carried out.

RESOLVED: That Cabinet recommends to Council the contents of the report.

(Proposed from the Chair)

Reason for Decision: As stated in the report.
