Fab workshop this morning, looking at culture and values for the new @SomersetCouncil I love this kind of work, the stories, experiences & views from colleagues are so rich. 90 of these planned, leading to our new people strategy @Som_Careers
@mefairhurst Well, written in Sharpie on the lid where there might be confusion, but if you don’t know your coriander seeds v cumin seeds then out of my kitchen!!
Beyond proud of Erin - Supported Employee of the Year at the SEBP Awards! A fantastic achievement for a phenomenal individual ❤️ @SomersetEBP @SomersetCouncil
In the face of private sector wage rises, time & flexibility is one thing local government has to offer to recruit & retain, and it’s proven to work. Oh dear. Minister asks South Cambridgeshire council to end four-day week trial https://t.co/ZOZlFQpf75
Really proud that we've signed the Menopause Pledge @SomersetCouncil@WellbeingofWmen We had an amazing Menopause at Work week & are committed to training, awareness & policy on this. All led by our wonderful Menopause Staff Network @Som_Careers
A real highlight of the week: had my first reverse-mentoring session. A wonderful & thought-provoking hour with my young, black, female mentor; this will challenge & stretch me, positively, personally & professionally @SomersetCouncil
I am so proud that my employer @SomersetCouncil has signed the Menopause Pledge for staff members. It has been refreshing to have such open and honest conversations taking place and taking away the stigma of the impact that it can have on us. #menopause
Father’s Day, daughters took me to see Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse. Completely astonishing, loved every minute, still breathless. Plus some socks and chocolate.
This is desperately sad news. I enjoyed my time working with Christina & she did a lot to bring South West local government into the world of the NHS Leadership Academy https://t.co/YGX0CNgbTs
Exeter to Yeovil is one of my favourite run-train commutes! Get to YVJ & it’s trails & parks all the way to town & then @SomersetCouncil offices. And cows.
