Staff Engagement and Productivity
• Currently 4207 (FTE) Employees• Pay amounts to over one half of our
budget• Many of our services are still provided by
directly employed staff• Continuously improving productivity is vital
in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our services
Having our Employees “On Board”
• Employees who feel engaged in the organisation, engaged in the delivery of their service and feelvalued are happy employees!
• Happy employees are more productive, less likely to be sick and less likely to leave
• We have worked hard to improve employee engagement and communication
• We have invested in leadership development at all levels
• We have had some positive results but there is more to do
