To review the Annual Workforce Report for 2021 to 2022.

The Employment in Hampshire County Council (EHCC) Committee considered a report of the Director of Human Resources, Organisational Development and Communications & Engagement regarding the Annual Workforce Report for 2021/22.

The Director summarised the key points from the report and Committee Members asked questions for clarification and commented on the implications of the content. In relation to exit information it was commented that it would be preferable to increase the numbers providing feedback in order to better understand why staff leave the organisation.

It was discussed that for those characteristics that are voluntarily disclosed, the data needed to be treated with caution, as it may not be reflective of the true position across the organisation.

It was noted that the Council should ensure that it is maximising all the various communities in Hampshire as our potential workforce, including refugees from Afghanistan and Ukraine.

RESOLVED:

1.    EHCC reviewed the content of the Annual Workforce Report (Annex One to the report).

2.    EHCC noted the progress of the actions so far and next steps.
