Wokingham BC among the country's best performing councils
Wokingham Borough Council recently came 12th in a national assessment of best-performing councils at the Local Government Human Resources (HR) Summit 2007. The assessment, completed by professional services firm VaLUENTiS, places Wokingham in the top 20 of 149 unitary, shire county and metropolitan district councils, based on assessment in 2006 and 2007.
A variety of information was used to produce the ranking, including Best Value Performance Indicators (BVPIs), Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPAs) and financial statements. This year was the first time that councils had the opportunity to contribute people management information for the overall evaluation, which provides an assessment of the extent to which a workforce is well-managed, engaged, developed and supported to deliver.
Wokingham Organisational development manager Geoff Munday said: “To come 12th out of 149 is a great accolade. It is a tribute to the efficiency and dedication of staff and managers across the Council over the past year, as well as the proactive work of our human resources team.”
