2006/2007 Data

Why use this indicator?

Provision of benefits is a key factor in retaining employees. This Indicator measures Council’s investment in its human resources and offers insight into relative investment levels in different areas of the workforce.

What is the current situation?

Short term temporary staff and casual staff are not able to salary package. Part-time staff are not able to have a car allocated to them.

Council has converted a number of casual positions to permanent part-time which enables more staff to access benefits.

Council is aware of the need to provide appropriate flexible working arrangements for all staff members and is continually seeking ways to ensure staff are able to access arrangements and benefits in an equitable manner.

What is the desired trend?

An increase in equality of benefits between employment types.

What does this mean for the Sustainability of Penrith Council?

Retaining and attracting skilled staff provides economic and social benefits to Council.
