Issue - meetings

Report by Carolyn Godfrey, Maggie Rae and Dr Carlton Brand, Corporate Directors.

Councillor Stuart Wheeler presented a report which sought to provide Cabinet with an overview of the 2014 staff survey results, highlighting key messages and priorities arising.

In the course of the presentation and the discussion, the issues discussed included: the high response rate to the survey; that response, overall, was positive; what actions the Council could take to address less positive areas; and that work would be ongoing to improve the appraisal process.

Councillor Jon Hubbard agreed that the results were very positive but highlighted a couple of less positive areas which he considered needed addressing.
