Issue - meetings

The Head of People, ICT and Property Services submitted a report outlining the Corporate Training Plan delivered in 2011/12 and seeking approval of the Corporate Training Plan for 2012/13, the detail of which, was set out in Essential Reference Papers “B” and “C” of the report now submitted.  The budgets for Corporate Training, Service Training, Professional Training and the Corporate Training Plan for 2012/12 were also set out in the report now submitted.  

Councillor C Woodward was pleased to see the improvements in the Personal Development Review (PDR) statistics.  It was noted that Revenues and Benefits continued to have the highest submission / completion rates of all sections. 

Councillor J Ranger suggested that the use of pre and post evaluation forms might be useful in terms of E-Learning. 

Councillor C Woodward questioned whether some courses and policies might be flagged up on an employees’ computer whereby the computer could be locked until the individual had completed and provided proof that they had undertaken the course of study.  This, he suggested, might be especially useful in terms of mandatory courses.

Members noted the annual report and approved the Corporate Training Plan for 2012/13

RESOLVED – that (A) the report be noted; and

(B)       the Corporate Training Plan for 2012/13 be approved.
