  People Resourcing

212

Attracting  and  retaining  high-quality  staff  is  

considered  key  to  the  corporate  strategy  of 

Buckingham  County  Council,  which  employs 

around  14,000  people.  Resourcing  is  one  of  the 

most  important  things  the  council  does  to  

improve performance.

Resourcing and people strategy

The  resourcing  strategy  complements  and  

reinforces  the  people  strategy,  which  has  five 

targets:

1 

being the best employer;

2 

bringing in additional talent;

3 

developing existing talent;

4 

championing diversity;

5 

transforming the organization.

The people strategy dashboard

A people strategy dashboard has been created to 

ensure that human resources are managed more 

effectively.  This  extends  the  people  strategy  

targets and is used to monitor progress in achiev-

ing them.
