An interesting detail from the latest performance management statistics:

"- The 19,504 employees (size of workforce) is a head count of the number of people employed by the Council, not the number of positions. - In addition there are 1,506 vacancies on our establishment (15.50% of all posts, excluding Schools). - Of those vacancies, 99 are "live" (being advertised). - Of the employees on the redeployment list (a mechanism to reduce redundancy by filling existing vacancies), 2 of those are already in job trials. - To date, 16 employees have been successfully redeployed to other neccessary, vacant posts rather than being made redundant."
