RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF SKILLED CRAFT WORKERS IN THE HOUSING MAINTENANCE DSO
Minutes:
Councillor Draycott submitted a report outlining proposals for a Recruitment and Retention package for introduction in the Housing Building Maintenance DSO and including proposals for the introduction of vehicle tracking and data transfer systems in Housing Department maintenance vehicles. It was acknowledged that the opportunity would be taken to build further on the measures to reach out to ethnic minorities who were significantly underrepresented and could provide a valuable source of recruitment.
RESOLVED:
that the Director of Housing be authorised, in consultation with the Cabinet Lead Member for Housing and Neighbourhood Renewal, to conclude negotiations with the trades unions on the recruitment and retention package.
