Equalities objectives
Workforce
These objectives were set in 2023 and are part of our people strategy. Through our action plans we aim to continue to improve the areas of difference identified in the 2024 workforce data.
Workforce equalities objectives:
- we will increase the number of employees who share their personal characteristic data
- we will increase the success rate of job applicants (internal and external) from minority or disadvantaged groups
- we will increase the mechanisms and use of support and flexibility for employees from minority or disadvantaged groups
- we will increase the support available to enable career progression for employees from minority or disadvantaged groups
- we will increase training, resources and engagement available for employees and specifically for managers. These will increase knowledge, awareness and confidence in discussing, supporting and taking action on equality, diversity and inclusion issues
Customers
These objectives were set in 2023. Services will continue to work towards ensuring accessibility of services for all Lincolnshire residents.
Customer equalities objectives:
- we will continue to broaden the detailed analysis of each directorate’s service provisions from an equality perspective
- we will identify areas of good practice from within the County Council and using the ‘one council’ principles, share the learning to enable continuous improvement
- we will review current community engagement initiatives and evaluate their effectiveness in eliminating poor access to services
