BACKGROUND
In response to key recommendations within both the Lady Elish Angiolini report and the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s (PSNI) Employment Tribunal Judgement Independent Review (known as Operation Fustic), a P&D led holistic review of how we manage workforce grievance commenced.
Activity supporting grievance experience improvements form part of our wider agenda aimed at creating a positive workplace which closely aligns with the Sex Equality and Tackling Misogyny group, a key element of Policing Together and an important driver in our ambition of becoming an anti-discriminatory service. Alignment and collaboration with both groups continue through the sharing of information and progress.
Recognising that a revised procedure alone may not change behaviours, the Creating a Positive Workplace, workstream within People and Development, has developed a range of products that are aimed at supporting and influencing behaviours to enable the resolution of workplace issues at an early stage, where possible.
