Staff Engagement and Productivity

• Currently 4207 (FTE) Employees• Pay amounts to over one half of our

budget• Many of our services are still provided by

directly employed staff• Continuously improving productivity is vital

in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our services

Having our Employees “On Board”

• Employees who feel engaged in the organisation, engaged in the delivery of their service and feelvalued are happy employees!

• Happy employees are more productive, less likely to be sick and less likely to leave

• We have worked hard to improve employee engagement and communication

• We have invested in leadership development at all levels

• We have had some positive results but there is more to do

Leadership conference clip - see separate file

Engagement survey resultsOur engagement survey, undertaken in Nov 2016 (developed by the Engage4 Change group) shows a number of improved areas:

• Employees are more proud to be working for thecouncil than those responding three years ago.(62% versus 35% in 2013)

• Employees are more willing to go that extra mileon occasions to complete work of an urgent nature.(85% now versus 54% in 2013)

• Employees feel more confident taking decisionswithout needing to seek permission (74% nowcompared to 65% in 2013)
