Improving workforce wellbeing and reducing sickness

Background

This means ensuring our officers and staff are well-led, well-equipped and well-supported. We will champion difference and diversity of thought so that we are an organisation people of all backgrounds want to work for, and one where they thrive. We will ensure officers and staff are clear about their role and can make a real impact; we will entrust them to make decisions, implement them and deliver their best.
