Workforce Development Plan

Workforce development planning is an activity with the aim of improving the level and application of skills, so as to achieve greater success for individuals and employers. It is also the process that this Council uses to determine its employee resourcing needs.

Great Yarmouth Borough Council produced its first Workforce Plan in 2003/04. The document evolved into a Workforce Development Plan and has been produced annually (with refinements) since. Our Plan: -

Provides a Workforce Profile of our employees.
Provides medium-term Workforce Forecasts (including commentaries on expected changes to departmental establishments and workforce development priorities within them) so as to afford a link between service objectives and the staff resources required to deliver them.
Sets out the corporate priorities for developing the Council’s workforce and associated processes in 2009/10, to help support the achievement of the Borough’s Shared Vision.
