Report of the Chief Operating Officer
|
Workforce Profile as at 30 September 2020
Summary
1. This report provides the Staffing Matters and Urgency Committee with the workforce profile, as at the end of 2020/2021.
Background
2. The data provided in this report is already available throughout the Council and through the Open Data Platform, however is not published together as shown in appendix 1.
3. The workforce data provided through the performance framework, is shared with Scrutiny committees and discussed at both Corporate Management Team and Directorate Management Teams.
Analysis
4. The information provided in the report gives a full overview to committee of key performance indicators directly linked to the councils workforce.
5. Committee will already be aware of the structural changes that have been occurring within the organisation, namely the new Directorate of People and the movement of Housing into Place. This report is still based upon the pre April1st 2021 structure as the new structure only officially commenced on the 1 April 2021. Future reports will reflect the new structure, and will have information backdated so that comparisons can be made. Within this report the Housing function is already included within Place department figures as the change was made before in-year.
6. There is an increase of Work with York (temporary agency) numbers, this is directly linked to the Council running the lateral flow testing sites.
7. There has been less staff movement over the year, which can be expected due to the pandemic. Leavers has increased but that is a direct result of roles being TUPE’d in Haxby Hall.
8. Sickness absence figures are falling, this is a pattern experienced across many local authorities during the past 12 months, along with our increased management focus on support staff well being and absence management.
10. The Committee, in considering the workforce profile, may consider highlighting areas for consideration by the Customer and Corporate Scrutiny Committee.
11. The content of the report and appendix are not material to the Council Plan.
12. There are no implications from the report.

Reason: In order to provide an overview of the workforce profile.
