Working for the Council – employment statistics

1 Introduction

Welcome to our employment statistics for April 2015 to March 2016. The statistics include recruitment, workforce profile, training and development, disciplinary and grievances and work experience placements. They form part of our Public Sector Equality Duty requirements where we have to provide equality information about our employees and job applicants.

The Council is still going through major changes with an even more challenging budget savings programme. We’ve reviewed our services and structures to identify savings and offered voluntary redundancy options to mitigate the number of possible compulsory redundancies. So, we’ve seen yet a further reduction in our overall workforce. We’ve tried to keep our existing workforce by reducing vacancies being advertised externally and advertising any vacancies to internal staff first. We’ve also introduced schemes such as offering learning packages to help employees with any training or development required. We have been transferred to the Jobcentre Plus Disability Confident Scheme. Due to us having succeeded in the ‘two ticks’ award for many years now, we have been automatically assessed as a Disability Confident Employer and the new logo is on the front of this booklet.

We will publish this booklet on our internal website iDerby and also on our external website at www.derby.gov.uk/equality. We’ll also present it to Derby Diversity Forum and employee networks.

Please contact us if you have any queries about the figures or have any suggestions for improving the layout for future reports. Contact us on 01332 643722, Minicom 01332 640666 or mobile 07812301144 [email protected]

2 Recruitment

2.1 The Council operates an on-line only application strategy, with reasonable adjustments made for disabled applicants. This section gives information about recruitment to the Council’s vacancies that were advertised between April 2015 and March 2016. The numbers exclude school vacancies. It explores the stages of the process and focuses on ethnic origin, gender, sexuality, religion or belief, disability, age.

2.2 Due to a vacancy control programme and budget savings, there

is a reduction in the number of posts being advertised externally to mitigate the number of redundancies, with more being advertised internally.

2.3 The impact of the economic climate and the need for

unprecedented savings has led to increased control over the amount of external recruitment that can be carried out by the Council and an increase in internal redeployment activity

2.4 All employees can now access their own Payroll/HR information

using a new online service known as MiPeople Self Service. As part of this, employees can update their own equality information. This helps the Council in monitoring its equality information for statistical purposes.

2.6 The appointment rates for the previous year 2014/15 are in the

shaded area so we can compare. The appointment rate of Pakistani applicants has gone up from 3.44% to 3.87%. The appointment rate of Black and Black British Caribbean applicants up from 4.46% to 6.70%. The appointment rate of ‘other black background’ job applicants has gone down from 5.45% to 5.04%. The appointment rate of White British applicants has gone up from 5.84% to 8.48%, but the rate of White and Black Caribbean job applicants has gone down from 6.84% to 5.84%.

2.7 The appointment rate of disabled people has gone up from

4.56% in 2014/15 to 7.37% in 2015/16. We do have a policy of guaranteeing an interview to disabled people who request this, if they meet the essential requirements for the job in the person specification.

5

2.8 2015/16 saw a higher number of applicants appointed within the age category 65-74 with a percentage rate of 29.41%.

2.9 The appointment rate of applicants who are Muslim has gone

down from last year at 8.33% to 4.03%. The appointment rate for job applicants who are Sikh has gone up 3.67% to 5.91%.

2.10 The appointment rate of job applicants who are bisexual has

gone down from 2.36% to 2.00% and for gay women/lesbian applicants has risen from 6.52% to 8.11%; this was the highest percentage increase for those who disclosed their sexual orientation.

2.11 Whilst it is encouraging that gay women/lesbian applicants have

disclosed their sexual orientation there has generally been an increase in those applicants who prefer not to disclose their sexual orientation which has gone up from 4.6% to 5.65%.

Senior Positions

2.12 We have defined ‘senior’ as Head of Service, Service Director and Strategic Director for the purposes of our employment statistics. We have appointed eight females and two males to senior positions between April 2015 and March 2016. Due to the small number involved we have not included the equality breakdown due to the danger of people being identified.

Pay and Reward 3.5 We have completed our Pay and Reward Project and 3,500

employees in council directorates and 2,800 employees in schools have had their pay evaluated. An Equal Pay Trend Analysis Report was completed by Hay in September 2015. We have now implemented the evaluation outcomes and the new conditions of employment.

4 Training and Development

4.1 Local Government budget pressures mean we use innovative and blended approaches to learning and development. We procured an e-Learning platform to meet our Equality, Information Governance, Safeguarding, Health and Safety Requirements in the main, whilst also offering other skills on-line courses to the workforce to aid self-development. All our equality courses are mandatory for employees to complete.

4.2 Formal training events include up-skilling managers in various

management interventions such as investigation skills, attendance management, handling difficult conversations and so on. The Workforce Development Teams in the former Adults, Health and Housing and Children’s and Young People’s Directorates continue to provide on-going professional development interventions. In addition to professional development, statutory courses such as health and safety, safeguarding, manual handling, risk assessment, fire evacuation, first aid are also provided.

4.3 Here is a table of the courses we provide on the on-line portal

and the number of employees who have completed them. The system does not have the capacity to report on take up of training by equality group. Employees complete their own learning achievements on the HR Management System Mipeople.

Work experience

4.5 Here are the figures of people who have taken part in our work

experience scheme from April 2015 to March 2016. Some are

for one week’s durations and others are for longer periods.

Unable to assist requests have increased due the fact that some

departments have now withdrawn their participation and

27

sometimes we are asked for occupational areas that we cannot

offer.

Volunteers have increased dramatically this year due to the fact

that there was a large event held at the Derby Arena that

required their participation in helping run the event.

6 Monitoring and moving forward

We monitor our equality in employment statistics through our performance management tool – DORIS. Reports on DORIS are produced quarterly and presented to Strategic Directors at Chief Officer Group meetings. Our Equality and Diversity Strategy Group, our employee networks and Diversity Forum will be examining these statistics and adding any positive action initiatives to our plans for implementing our 2017/2020 equality objectives, which are in our latest Equality, Dignity and Respect Policy.
