WORKFORCE PROFILE INFORMATION DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS SUPPORT HUMAN RESOURCES - WORKFORCE STRATEGY TEAM FIRST FLOOR, BRITANNIA HOUSE HALL INGS BRADFORD, BD1 1HX
BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT The Council is required by law to publish information to relating certain categories (known as Protected Characteristics) under the Equalities Act 2010. To increase the intelligibility of the data presented the Council has adopted a variety of methods eg tables, graphs, text narrative as appropriate to the information Information has been collected for a number of years on Race, Disability, Gender and Age, as was previously the requirement under the Race Relations Amendment Act. Information relating to Sexual Orientation, Pregnancy and Maternity and Religion and Belief has only been a requirement since Equalities Act came into force. The Council is still considering how best to collect meaningful data on its workforce profile and that of its service users against these protected characteristics. Absence of data should not be taken to imply any lack of interest by the Council in the welfare of these groups, it has never previously been required to collect data about them. It does not collect information on occupational segregation and has factored it into its review of ongoing monitoring of its workforce / activity.
BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT (continued) It is anticipated that in the future the Council will be able to publish data against these groups. However, currently there is only limited information available relating to Pregnancy and Maternity (which is the number of maternity cases and the number of paternity leave spells for the period 1 st October 2010 to 30 th September 2011). The Council is aware of its ongoing duty to collect information of employees and service users with protected characteristics which it did not previously monitor. Once the data has been collected and analysed it will be published, as required. The Council is monitoring the implications of workforce reductions following cuts in central government funding, particularly in terms of its employees with protected characteristics. The Council is working towards fully implementing equal pay for all its employees and is engaging with trade unions on this issue. The Council routinely carries out Equality Impact Assessments on its policies, processes and procedures through a rolling programme. Re-integration of schools management has recently occurred and therefore figures for schoolsbased employees are currently being finalised. These will be added shortly where they are not currently included.

A large proportion of female staff tend to be part time workers in the more lower paid jobs. The profile shows that women make up a large part of the workforce within Council Departments approximately 66% to 34% (female to male) and this has remained fairly stable over the last 6 years. The workforce reductions have not had a disproportionate affect on either gender. Female Male

Although the organisation is employing less staff overall, the percentage of BME staff remains proportional. The working population ethnic minority figure from the last census figure was 20.14%. It is interesting to note the progress made in building a more representative workforce over the last 20 years. The chart shows the percentage of BME staff in the Council s workforce excluding schools. There has been a significant increase of BME staff over the past 20 years. The recent workforce reductions have resulted in a small percentage increase of this group even though we are going through workforce reductions.

ENGAGEMENT WITH EMPLOYEES Communication channels used within the Council include regular messages from Corporate Management Team (the Chief Executive and all Strategic Directors) on the Council s internal website (known as BradNet Portal). The Council has a Pride @ Work staff newsletter (in various formats taking into account employees various forms of disability), managers express and change update (aimed at 4 th Tier Managers), the Chief Executive s newsletter (which includes key messages on specific change issues to assist Strategic Directors and Assistant Directors in briefing their managers and teams) and the Chief Executive s briefings for all employees on key topics of change and which include an opportunity for employees to ask the Chief Executive questions. The last employee survey took place in 2010 and when considering its completion the Council took into account employees disability (in terms of visual impairment, hearing impairments etc), working patterns (whether they were full / part time employees, the hours of work eg shift work patterns etc) in order to maximise the number of returns received. Consultation also took place prior to launch of the employee survey with the trade unions on the questions being asked. The Council holds regular Corporate Equality and Diversity Team meetings with champions from each Department.
ENGAGEMENT WITH TRADE UNIONS Effective change management is based on ongoing engagement between the Council and Trade Unions as well as specific consultation / negotiation on individual change issues. This engagement enables the Council to discuss with Trade Unions, at an early stage, significant developments which may impact on employees and enable the Council to understand and respond to Trade Union issues before formal implementation commences. All reports to Executive on any change issue include a statement drafted in collaboration with the Trade Unions, on whether or not the unions support the proposals on supporting information to inform the report.
