Agenda item

To consider a report by the Chief Officer HR which sets out the People Plan scorecard information for September 2012.

(Report attached)

The Chief Officer HR presented to the Board the People Score Cards for Quarter 2 2012/13.

The following were in attendance:

Councillor Peter Gruen - Executive Member Neighbourhoods and Support Services

Lorraine Hallam – Chief Officer HR

Daniel Hartley – Deputy Chief Officer HR

  Catherine Marchant – Head of Human Resources – Children’s   Services

In brief summary, the main issues of discussion were;

·  The staffing underspend

·  The reduction in the number of agency staff

·  The absence in a significant number of Score Cards of a 2012/13 target or a 2011/12 outturn and the reasons for this.

·  The existence in many of the Score Cards of the lack of data and the reasons for this.

·  The manner in which data is collected by the SAP system and the management levels at which this data is collected resulting in data not being available

·  The need to achieve a balance between appropriate data collection and the resources required to provide and collect such data

·  The varied quality and usefulness of the comments provided in the Score Cards to explain local circumstances

The information that is provided to this Scrutiny Board

In addition to requesting that HR look at the areas where targets had not been provided for 2012/13 or outturns provided for 2011/12, the Board requested that targets for 2013/14 be drawn up.

The Board also agreed to request that future Score Cards included data on overtime expenditure.

  Care First

  Accident Numbers
