Overview
It is good practice that information about the makeup of our workforce is published. Reports of aggregated (brought together) data are produced each year detailing workforce characteristics.
We can show we are a fair and inclusive employer, committed to all employees in terms of access and opportunities.
The information is used to look at whether our workforce is representative of the population of the borough. This helps provide better service deliver and also allows us to check that we are not discriminating against groups of staff in our policies or practices.
Most discrimination in employment is likely to be unintentional. If we do not collect and analyse information, we will not understand where we might be getting things wrong and will therefore not be able to put things right.
