INTRODUCTION To design integrated services that provide quality care to an ever diverse population, we recognise that we need a varied skill-base from diverse professional groups all working in an environment that is able to truly harness their skills and experience. This includes the vital role that equality and diversity can play in bringing together a range of health care professionals from diverse backgrounds, together with patients and members of the public. During the last year Oldham CCG has taken on the role of host of Greater Manchester Shared Services, which supports Greater Manchester s CCGs and others by providing a range of outsourced functions. This hosting role has increased the total CCG staff compliment considerably and importantly, as an employer of more than 150 staff members, we are now required to publish information relating to our employees and the impact of our employment policies and procedures on the workforce. This workforce report forms part of the equality information that we use to help us meet our duty to eliminate discrimination and harassment, promote equality of opportunities and foster good relations between different groups within our workforce. We seek to develop positive practice and promote equality of opportunity in our employment practices. We regularly review our policies and procedures to consider their impact, with a view, to spreading good practice and removing any unintended barriers. All our employees have a requirement to meet a basic competency level in equality and diversity and monitoring of this forms part of their annual appraisal. We have a suite of policies and procedures in place to ensure that we operate in a fair and non-discriminatory manner towards our employees. On-going training and awareness sessions are provided to line managers in the light of any new employee related policies and procedures to ensure that they are applied in a non-discriminatory manner. Some of the key polices are: Dignity at Work Grievance and Disciplinary Absence and Sickness Flexible Working Performance Management Appraisals Recruitment and Selection Whilst we use the NHS Jobs website to advertise most vacancies in line with other NHS bodies, we continuously review our recruitment procedures and processes (including training for recruiting staff). We explore different solutions to encourage applications from local communities as well as aiming to ensure that we do not disadvantage any particular group. Disaggregated data concerning the processes listed below has been omitted from this report as the numbers are very small and publishing the data could identify individuals. However, the data is scrutinised internally for any trends or hot spots, with any potential actions to address, being considered by the CCG (including GMSS). 5
4. Inclusive leadership at all levels 3. A representative and well supported staff CCG Employees subject to disciplinary procedures: warnings, cautions, and dismissals Grievances Leavers The CCG s hosting role of GMSS has increased our workforce and this report will support us to benchmark ourselves against NHS Equality Delivery System (EDS) Goals 3 and 4 as described in the table below. In 2015 we were graded as developing against EDS Goal 4 Inclusive Leadership. Any actions falling out of this report will be included in our overarching Equality and Diversity annual action plan and will contribute to evidence against EDS Goal 3 A Representative and Supported Workforce. EDS Goals Outcomes 3.1 Recruitment and selection processes are fair, inclusive and transparent so that the workforce becomes as diverse as it can be within all occupations and grades. 3.2 Levels of pay and related terms and conditions are fairly determined for all posts, with staff doing equal work and work rated as of equal value being entitled to equal pay. 3.3 Through support, training, personal development and performance appraisal, staff are confident and competent to do their work, so that services are commissioned or provided appropriately. 3.4 Staff are free from abuse, harassment, bullying, violence from both patients and their relatives and colleagues, with redress being open and fair to all. 3.5 Flexible working options are made available to all staff, consistent with the needs of the service, and the way people lead their lives. 3.6 The workforce is supported to remain healthy, with a focus on addressing major health and lifestyle issues that affect individual staff and the wider population. 4.1 Boards and senior leaders conduct and plan their business so that equality is advanced, and good relations fostered within their organisations and beyond 4.2 Middle managers and other line managers support and motivate their staff to work in culturally competent ways within a work environment free from discrimination. 4.3 The organisation uses the Competency Framework for Equality and Diversity Leadership to recruit, develop and support strategic leaders to advance equality outcomes Summary This report is an equality analysis of workforce data held on employees of Oldham CCG (including GMSS) as at 31 August 2016. Data is analysed where possible from three perspectives: Oldham CCG (including GMSS); Oldham CCG; and GMSS. The focus is on (where data is available) seven of the nine characteristics protected by the Equality Act 2010, namely: age; disability; gender; ethnicity; sexual orientation; religion or belief and marriage and civil partnership. The report is organised into the following sections: 1. Key workforce facts as of 31 August 2016 2. Pay grades and working patterns as of 31 August 2016 3. Gender pay gap as of 31 August 2016 4. Grievance and Disciplinary 5. Sickness Absence 6. Recommendations and Conclusion Equality Monitoring Data Table 1: Oldham CCG (including GMSS) Workforce Table 2: Oldham CCG Recruitment Table 3: GMSS Recruitment 6
The information on which this report is based has been given voluntarily by individuals when applying for a post with the organisation. This information is recorded on the NHS Jobs recruitment database. Once an applicant is appointed, the information is transferred onto another database, the electronic staff record (ESR). As at 31 August: Oldham CCG (including GMSS) had 421 employees. Oldham CCG (excluding GMSS) had102 employees. GMSS had 319 employees. Further work is required to address the gaps for data concerning: GMSS employees subject to disciplinary procedures: warnings, cautions, and dismissals Grievances Leavers Training Occupational Health and associated reasonable adjustments 7

1.0 Key Workforce facts 1.1 Age Figure 1.1a Age profile Oldham CCG (including GMSS) At the end of August 2016, our data showed relatively low levels of employees aged under 20 years old. The majority of Oldham CCG (including GMSS) workforce was concentrated in the age bands of 35 39 years of age at 18.76% and 54 49 years of age, both age bands accounting for 17.10% each; followed by the age bands 50-54 at 16.86% and 30 34 years of age representing 12.11% of the workforce. The average age of Oldham CCG (including GMSS) employees is 43 years of age. Figure 1.1b Age profile Oldham CCG (excluding GMSS) At the end of August 2016, our data showed low levels of employees aged under 20 years old. The majority of Oldham CCG workforce was concentrated in the age bands 45-59 at 48.04% and 30-34 at 38.2%. The average age of Oldham CCG employees is 44 years of age. Figure 1.1c Age profile GMSS At the end of August 2016, our data showed low levels of employees aged under 20 years old.

1.2 Disability Figure 1.2a Disability Profile Oldham CCG (including GMSS) At the end of August 2016, 7.1% Oldham CCG (including GMSS) employees declared a disability, 84.1% declared no disability. The amount of unknown data for disability is 8.8%. Figure 1.2b Disability Profile Oldham CCG At the end of August 2016, 4.9% Oldham CCG employees declared a disability, 85.3% declared no disability. The amount of unknown data for disability is 9.8%. Figure 1.2c Disability Profile GMSS At the end of August 2016, 7.8% GMSS employees declared a disability, 83.7% declared no disability. The amount of unknown data for disability is 8.5%. Best practice would identify this as being significantly low and an area for improvement. It is recognised that this data may not accurately reflect the proportion of the workforce who have a disability. Our occupational health referrals suggest a higher proportion of people with a disability and we have implemented reasonable adjustments where required. However, these this is not reflected in our current data collection. Further work will be required to reflect the reasonable adjustments made for staff. 13

National figures for all CCGs are not known as sexual orientation information was not collected. Good practice suggests that staff engagement would be useful to build confidence in staff to declare their sexual orientation. This information would be useful to identify trends in areas like promotion and disciplinaries and workplace barriers they may face. 20

3.0 Gender Pay Gap The Office of National Statistics defines the overall gender pay gap as the comparison of average pay between females and males. The gender pay gap remains at a national level due, in part, to the different ways males and females participate in the labour market. This may be due to choice of occupations, under-valuation of women s work, caring responsibilities and pay systems that are not so transparent. Table 3a Agenda for Change Pay Average Oldham CCG (including GMSS) Based on a comparison of take home pay at Oldham CCG (including GMSS): Average Female wage = 33,095 (excludes non-afc) Average Male salary = 33,702 (excludes non-afc) Table 3b Agenda for Change Pay Average Oldham CCG Based on a comparison of take home pay at Oldham CCG: Average Female wage = 36,755 (excludes non-afc) Average Male salary = 45,633 (excludes non-afc) Table 3c Agenda for Change Pay Average GMSS Based on a comparison of take home pay at GMSS: Average Female wage = 31,999 (excludes non-afc) Average Male salary = 32,195 (excludes non-afc) 33

Table 3e Agenda for Change and Level 4 pay grades (150 staff +) GMSS The pay gap for Agenda for Change staff at GMSS is 1.8%. 34
4.0 Grievance and Disciplinary Disaggregated data for grievances and disciplinary has been omitted from this report as the numbers are very small and publishing the data could identify individuals. However, the data is scrutinised internally for any trends or hot spots, with any potential actions to address, being considered by Oldham CCG (including GMSS). 5.0 Sickness Absence Table 5a Sickness Absence and Protected Groups Oldham CCG (including GMSS) Available data for level of sickness by protected groups; shows on average each member of the Oldham CCG (GMSS) workforce spends 4.24% of their working time absent through sickness. The rates are highest among staff with a disability, followed by female staff. Table 5b Sickness Absence and Protected Groups Oldham CCG Available data for level of sickness by protected groups; shows on average each member of the Oldham CCG workforce spends 2.61% of their working time absent through sickness. The rates are highest among staff with a disability, followed by female staff. 35
Table 5b Sickness Absence and Protected Groups GMSS Available data for level of sickness by protected groups; shows on average each member of the GMSS workforce spends 5.1% of their working time absent through sickness. The rates are highest among staff with a disability, followed by female staff. 36
Key recommendations It is recommended that NHS Oldham CCG (including GMSS) should introduce measures to: To ensure plans are in place to address gaps in data collection and analysis across protected groups in the following workforce areas: leavers, dismissals, secondments and occupational health related adjustments. Commit to the Disability Confident employers scheme (which has replaced the two ticks scheme since July 2016). Further examine the BME profile of its staff in order to better determine any underlying reasons for the distribution of BME staff across the CCG (including GMSS) and collaborate with other NHS organisations to introduce measures to develop CCG BME staff into roles attracting a higher banding. Consider Unconscious Bias training for interviewing staff and Cultural Competency Training across the CCG (including GMSS). Include non-mandatory training data in the next CCG (including GMSS) workforce report January 2018. Ensure that when new posts are advertised, they are worded so as to encourage applications from people with a disability. Ensure that all new staff, on induction, are encouraged to disclose a disability if they have one to ensure any necessary reasonable adjustments can be made and to disclose other protected characteristics to enable the CCG to identify employment equality trends. The majority of roles are recruited via NHS jobs. The CCG (including GMSS) should consider alternative cost effective recruitment tools e.g. Linked in, social media, to promote recruitment at all levels from currently under-represented communities and provide development opportunities for these groups to progress to the highest non-clinical bands. Think Autism, the national strategy for adults with autism, recommends that employers promote the employment of people on the autistic spectrum. The CCG (including GMSS) should consider delivering training around autism to support line managers with making reasonable adjustment for staff on the autistic spectrum. To develop and undertake a bespoke staff survey during 2017,for the CCG (including GMSS) and include key questions from the Workforce Race Equality Standard and the anticipated Workforce Disability Equality Standard. Develop a rolling programme to learn best practice around equality and workforce. Develop an agreed Oldham CCG (including GMSS) EDHR workforce plan (aligned with Workforce Race Equality Standard; anticipated Workforce Disability Standard; EDS 2 Goals 3 and 4. Monitor progress via Oldham CCG MET and GMSS People and OD Committee. To publish this report on the CCG (including GMSS) website. Conclusion NHS Oldham CCG (including GMSS) is committed to addressing inequalities within its workforce we will consider the recommendations and incorporate them into our objectives through business planning for 2017/18 wherever possible. 37
