Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

The Cabinet Member for Corporate Management introduced the report which analysed the performance of the organisation in relation to management of attendance, as reported in the Council’s Performance Report to Cabinet in March 2013, and set out the plan and commitment, led by Heads of Service and the Corporate Management Team, to achieve improvements in performance.

            The Head of Organisational Development and Human Resources explained that the Council’s performance had worsened during 2012/13, particularly during quarters 1 and 3.  Actions to address the downturn in performance had been identified and were in the process of being implemented.  Further actions to address low performance were detailed in the report and would form part of specific Action Plans for implementation by service areas.

            Heads of Service and the Corporate Management Team would be responsible for analysing and monitoring trends and levels of performance across the Council and ensuring that targets for improvements were achieved. 

RESOLVED:

That the analysis and the requirements and expectations for Heads of Service, Managers and Corporate Management Team in managing attendance be noted and the on-going work to address attendance levels and underlying causes be supported.
