SPA CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT
Members considered the report which detailed activities involving SPA corporate staff since the previous Authority Meeting. Lynn Brown (LBrown) highlighted a number of key points as detailed in the paper.
In discussion the following matters were raised:
• Members welcomed the knowledge exchange visit and commitment to benchmarking and peer reviews.
• Tribute was paid to LBrown following the very positive SPA staff survey results, especially around responses relating to culture.
• Members sought comment on timelines relating to pay and reward. LBrown confirmed the Authority had not been in this position before so the various stages of the current process were new territory.
