Human Resources (HR) and Training

The work of a council HR department is varied.  HR officers and assistants deal with recruitment and selection, employee performance and motivation, pay and benefits, equal opportunities and diversity, health, safety and welfare, industrial and employee relations, relocation and redeployment. 

Training officers ensure that staff receive training and development that will enable them to deliver services more effectively. HR and training staff are also involved in a range of strategic HR activities, such as working with managers to identify the people management implications of service plans, assisting with workforce planning to identify future skills needs and ensuring HR policies and procedures support the organisation's objectives.

This strategic approach requires HR staff to  be business-focused with common sense, good political awareness and influencing skills.
