Our people strategy

Our people strategy reflects that our workforce is one of our greatest assets, and our commitment to developing our staff to achieve the Council’s ambition to be the best. At H&F, equity and inclusion is at the heart of our organisation, be it from co-production to our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We're signed up to the Race at Work Charter and have been taking strides to move forward equity and inclusion in our workplace. 

Co-production is everybody’s business and we have set out to make sure 'Nothing about Disabled people without Disabled people' is at the heart of decision making in relation to policy and practice in this unique and diverse borough.

We're committed to making H&F the most inclusive borough in the country; a place where everyone feels valued and residents have equitable access to the opportunities our borough offers. Fundamental to achieving that is identifying and dismantling inequalities that hold us back.

In seeking to identify a new suite of equality objectives to focus on, a wide-ranging consultation was carried out in early 2021 where we asked residents and staff for their views on our draft Equalities Plan which set out our plan and objectives for the next four years. The following priorities and objectives were agreed:

  1. Everyone in our borough feels valued and they belong
  2. Removing barriers to inclusion
  3. Ensuring that our services tackle the disproportionate impact on young people (including those at risk of street crime and exploitation by gangs)
  4. Improving opportunities for all
  5. Becoming an employer of choice and fostering greater inclusion

We have recently partnered with Microlink the UK’s leading Workplace Adjustment and Assistive Technology Partner to support new and existing employees with specialist assistive technologies and ergonomic aids to ensure all of our employees have the equipment they need to perform at their best.

We're proud to be part of the London Healthy Workplace Charter, endorsed by Public Health England and the Mayor of London.

We also have a wealth of Employee networks that are a great way to get involved in the corporate community, they are voluntary groups of employees that come together based on shared identity or life experiences. They create supportive environments and bring people together. Some employee networks H&F have to offer, include;

  • Race equality staff forum
  • Race equality
  • Community of practice for inclusion
  • H&F Way
  • Women’s Network
  • Young Persons Network

We aim to have a workforce that is truly representative of all sections of society at all levels and have a zero tolerance to harassment and bullying and create a work environment where everyone is treated with fairness, dignity and respect, thereby enabling them to give their best.
