Minutes:

The Council has a suite of HR policies and procedures which are used to manage a wide range of employment matters. These are subject to periodic review and update.  The report considered updates to the Council’s Organisational Change Policy and the Alcohol, Drug and Substance Use policy.

The proposed new policies were discussed with the Unions at a recent Policy and Procedure Review Group meeting and they supported the updates being put forward to both policies under review.

The recommendations were proposed by Councillor K North and seconded by Councillor Flood.

Resolved:

 

1.  That the Organisational Change Policy attached at Annex 1 to the report be approved. This new policy will replace the current Management of Change Policy, Redeployment Policy and Procedure and Redundancy Policy and Procedure.

 

2.  That the Alcohol, Drug and Substance Use Policy, attached at Annex 2 to the report, be approved.  This policy will replace the current Alcohol, Drugs and Substance Misuse policy.
