People and Culture Strategy 2024 to 2028

Welcome to our People and Culture Strategy 2024 to 2028 (PDF, 1 MB). This strategy sets out our commitment to the people in our teams and our communities, and to ensuring that we have capacity and people in the right places to deliver on our vision of a Perth and Kinross where everyone can live life well, free from poverty and inequality.

As a Council we are on a journey of transformation and change, reshaping our organisation to ensure that we are prepared to deliver the best public services we can for the people of Perth and Kinross, focussed on need and within available resources.

Our workforce is fundamental to the achievement of this goal. We recognise the importance of creating an environment which allows the people in our teams to be their best. Ensuring that they have access to training and opportunities which allow them to develop and to demonstrate the skills, values and attitudes which will meet the needs of our communities, now and into the future.

As a large organisation with teams working in a variety of settings and in a variety of roles there is no single solution to workforce planning. However, by aligning this strategy and action plans to our core values of ambition, compassion and integrity, we are providing a solid foundation to the co-ordinated planning which is needed to deliver a sustainable approach to workforce development across the Council.

As we move forward, we will continue to innovate, adapt, and grow. We will continue to listen, learn, and lead. And we will continue to put people at the heart of everything we do.

Thank you for joining us on this journey.

Thomas Glen
Chief Executive
