Plans

Our Director of People is leading the development of our People Strategic Delivery Plan for our refreshed Trust Strategy, and these plans articulate our ambition and milestones over the next five years for our people, continuing to build on the successes of the last year, and address areas that we know are important to creating the culture we seek and delivering high quality patient care.

These plans will progress through our governance structures to ensure they are co produced, owned and monitored.

People Plan

In 2023/24, our annual workplan to support the delivery against the People Strategy focused on four pillars of the employee life cycle:

• Finding and recruiting staff. More people, through attraction, grow your own and retention.
• Valuing staff. Compassionate and inclusive leadership, leading to a sense of belonging.
• Developing staff and new roles. Equipping staff for current and future workforce requirements.
• Retaining staff. Flexible and predictable working, recruitment and retention initiatives, understanding why people leave.

The assurance on progress of implementation takes place through the People Committee to the Board of Directors.
