Talent Strategy – Public Sector

Background

In a busy London Borough Council, the Personnel Manager - Recruitment & Development recognised that it was becoming increasingly difficult to take managers out of the workplace for development. As such, HDA was commissioned to work with the Council to create a cost-effective and practical method of developing managers in the workplace.

HDA Intervention

HDA worked with the Personnel Manager – Recruitment & Development to create Behaviour Based Development Programmes. Existing behaviours and competencies were drawn upon to create a tailored development programme, built around the existing Performance Development Framework.  A customized booklet was then produced for each organisational level (4 in total), based on the key behaviours (13 in total). Great care was taken to ensure that appropriate language for each level was used and that the focused activities and suggested development actions related to specific roles. 

Recognising the continued growth and added value of online learning, HDA ensured that the booklets could also be adapted for an online environment where relevant.

In addition to the development guides produced for each level, a Manager’s Guide was created to support the process.

Results

• Behavioural Development programmes, tailored to the Council’s Performance Development Framework, were created.
• In the future, based on these programmes, specific development behaviours can be written to meet particular individual, team, or Council needs. In addition, behaviour based interview questions can now be used either for recruitment or career progression with the Council. 
• Development activities that HDA have created for the programmes can form part of a blended learning solution designed to help individuals to develop their understanding of core values and behaviours.
