Human Resources and Organisational Development

Head of Human Resources and Organisational Development - Kenny Brown

Welcome to the Human Resources and Organisational Development (HR and OD) Division of Corporate Services.  Our job is to make sure that the Council excels at people management and we do this through the following three areas: the provision of excellent operational HR services (e.g. recruitment and training) and change management support to our six Directorates, to enhance their ability to achieve their key service objectives the development of new strategies, policies and initiatives that enable us to maximise the contribution of our people to the achievement of the Council’s short and long terms goals making Worcestershire County Council a great place to work by improving our performance as an employer.

HR and OD Structure

The HR and OD team structure  (15.34 KB). was revised in April 2007.

Making a difference to people’s lives

Every one of the Council’s 19,500 employees makes a difference to the quality of peoples’ lives in Worcestershire and therefore their work has real meaning.  How they do their work is guided by our ‘Way of Working’ values –

• can-do
  
• freedom within boundaries and
  
• customer focus.
  

The HR and OD Division has a special responsibility as the guardian of the Council’s values and promotes them during its numerous contacts with job applicants and employees.

Focusing on results

The Division’s success is judged on the results it achieves or contributes to, rather than what it spends its time on.  Its work is therefore focused on clear goals and related measures which are set out in its Business Plan  (94.18 KB) that will improve employee performance and support the County Council’s Corporate Plan.

We particularly welcome feedback on any aspect of our HR and OD services:
