The report was presented by the HR Business Partner who highlighted the rollout of the new pay model and enhancement of the learning and development offer involving more online options.  He also commented on the high standard of participants in the Apprenticeship programme and the development of the Health and Well-being Strategy which would help to support individuals affected by personal issues, as highlighted in the previous agenda item.
