Minutes:
Ananda Harcus, Divisional Director, Human Resources and Organisational Development, introduced the report and explained that following the Tower Rewards proposals, it was evident that a number of the HR polices had not been updated/revised for a significant period of time and therefore a framework for a systematic review of policies and procedures were developed in June 2020 setting out the priority of order in which policies would be reviewed.
There had been a minor slippage to the delivery time due to the COVID 19 pandemic and therefore Cohort One would now be implemented in January 2021.
It was noted significant work had been undertaken on family friendly policies and so two polices had been moved to Cohort Two so they can be considered as part of an over-arching suite of policies dealing with time off for family and/or dependants. Members were informed that changes to the policies would ensure they were clearer and consistent.
The Committee welcomed this report and it was agreed that a quarterly report would be brought to the GPC with updates and changes to HR policies.
Accordingly, the General Purposes Committee
RESOLVED
1. The progress on the review of HR policies and procedures was noted.
