  4. Workforce Profile The gender balance continues to be stable with 66% female employees. This is comparable to the Scottish average of 67%. The proportion of women in the top 2% and 5% of earners continues to increase. The Council’s age profile continues to peak in the 40-54 age category. The under representation of younger people is being addressed through different workforce investment initiatives which are covered later in the report. Female 66% Male 34% Fife Council’s award of the Positive about Disability symbol was successfully reviewed in September 2011. The symbol recognised the Council’s commitment to employ, keep and develop the abilities of disabled staff. The Equality Act 2010 & Public Sector Equality Duty Due regard must be given to the extended nine characteristics when making changes to services or employment practices.

  6. Workforce Change Within Catering and Cleaning there was a need for significant savings within the schools catering budget. A review of over 800 employees in terms of contract hours, and when they were worked, avoided the need to make redundancies. Following proposals to close the cafes in the Community Use Schools alternatives were proposed from three of the 13 staff involved. One employee successfully submitted a proposal to set up a franchise, another employee proposed to deliver the same service under self-employment status and a third employee produced a comprehensive business plan detailing how their role could be self-funding. Home care provision is being redesigned to better meet the changing demands of the client group, whilst ensuring the service can continue to deliver high quality care. Job redesign and the introduction of technology has been key to enabling the enhanced service delivery model. Savings have been achieved through contract variation and vacancy management. Approximately 1,200 staff were affected. Annual Workforce Report 2011/12 Page 5

  10. Workforce Change Current Workforce Pressures: Catering Coordinators Secondary Teachers – Drama, Home Economics & Business Education Home Care and Meals on Wheels – (particularly in the NE Fife area) Cleaners Engineers Services are using a variety of approaches to address these areas, including the use of traineeships for Engineers and Catering Coordinators. Given the current budget restraints however, it is becoming increasingly difficult to fund such schemes. It is expected that additional funding will become available for youth unemployment and work has been done to model how additional funds could be used. This includes looking at modern apprenticeship schemes currently offered and widen these into different areas such as care and professional roles to address skills gaps.
