Issue - meetings

The Interim Head of People Service submitted a report detailing and update on actions following the Equal Pay Audit in 2011, the detail of which was set out in the report now submitted.  In response to a query from the Chairman regarding potential overtime anomalies between genders, Officers undertook to investigate this and write to Members.  Members noted that because of the confidential nature of the issue that it might be difficult to collate this information but that staff forums could be mechanism.

Officers explained the difficulties of career progression as managerial roles were removed from the structure.  The merits of mentoring were debated and the advantages to both the individual in terms of career progression and to the Council in terms of knowledge and expertise gained.

Members noted the report.

RESOLVED – that the report be noted.
