Issue - meetings

Members had been provided with a detailed report in advance of the meeting, to update them on the implementation of the existing Wellbeing Strategy and associated action plan

As part of the initial consultation process, Members were also asked to comment on the draft revision of the Strategy which was attached at appendix 3 to the report

Jen Skila, Assistant Director, HR, and Jerry Sanderson, Head of Health Safety and Wellbeing, attended the meeting and gave a verbal update to the committee to compliment the report. Officers were keen that the wellbeing strategy remained current and the associated actions supported the reduction of sickness absence levels and promoted the overall wellbeing of the Council’s workforce.

Members made a number of comments/observations and asked questions around the Strategy and Action Plan, which were duly noted or answered by the officers present. Members welcomed the Strategy and particular reference was made of the importance of getting the message across to all hard to reach employees. 

The Chairman thanked the officers for their update.

RESOLVED to note the progress to date and the refresh of the Wellbeing Strategy and planned development of the associated action plans aligned to the 5 pillars of wellbeing
