Report of the Head of Finance and IT

The Head of Finance and I.C.T introduced a report, which had been circulated in advance of the meeting, updating Members on the current level of assurance that could be provided against each corporate risk.

Members queried which teams within the council had been training their own staff to mitigate against the lack of applicants to recent vacancies.

The Head of Finance and I.C.T noted that this had been happening and highlighted some recently employed trainees within the Legal and Finance departments.

Members asked if the Council held data on whether roles offering hybrid positions received more applicants compared to roles which were less agile.

The Head of Finance and I.C.T explained that the majority of office-based roles were now hybrid positions but noted that employees did have the option to work in the office full time if desired. It was noted that the HR department could provide further data on this.

RESOLVED:
