Decision details

To receive and note a report (if submitted to this meeting) giving details of employees currently subject this policy and related financial implications.

The redundancy and redeployment policy with its associated procedures is a change management process within the Council designed to provide appropriate corporate assessment, support and learning interventions for those whose substantive posts are under threat.

The Cabinet considered the report of the Assistant Director for Human Resources and Organisational Development.  The report set out the current activity within the redundancy and redeployment procedure and actions taken to support affected individuals.

Resolved:

(1) That the actions taken to manage implications of change for displaced individuals through support, redeployment and assistance with self marketing under the Redundancy and Redeployment Procedure be noted.

(2) That the financial implications of severance for those identified in the event that redeployment is not secured by the relevant date be agreed.

Reason for decision:

The organisation is currently in phase two of the joint transformation programme and actions have been taken to manage the implications of this change for displaced individuals through support, redeployment and assistance with self-marketing under the redundancy and redeployment procedure.

Notes: (1) The report remains exempt. (2) Exempt information reasons 1 and 2 – Information relating to an individual or likely to reveal the identity of an individual.
