Equalities objectives
Workforce
These objectives are part of our people strategy and aim to improve the areas of difference identified in the 2023 workforce data.
Workforce equalities objectives:
- we will improve county council building accessibility, where there are unreasonable deficiencies for employees.
- we will aim to increase the number of employees who share their personal characteristic data via self-service on Business World through a communication plan on its importance
- we will aim to increase the success rate of job applicants who are shortlisted from minority or disadvantaged groups, as well as support existing employees to access support and development for their career progression
- to enable dialogue, support, knowledge and action on equality, diversity and inclusion, we will invest and increase training, resources and engagement on Lincs2Learn (our learning portal) for employees and managers
