Background
Following approval to create a development programme to increase and improve the competence and confidence of people managers in their day-to-day people management role, a new development approach was created and piloted between March and June 2023.
The programme has seven pillars:
• The Competency and Values Framework
• Capability
• Creating a Positive Workplace
• Attendance Management and Duty Modification
• Health and Wellbeing
• Inclusion
• Managerial Administration
The programme delivers:
• 2 days training via Microsoft Teams
• A new People Management Development Programme intranet site hosted on the Leadership and Talent intranet homepage. This site ensures all People Managers have access to the resources and performance support they need, when they need it, 24/7. Resources include checklists, guidance, toolkits, FAQs, and is available at the point of need. There is clear signposting to key information and support functions, like the Policy Hub and People Direct.
The 2 days training delivery provides:
• A one-day learning experience called Starting Point, delivered by the Police Scotland Leadership and Talent team. This session focusses on core behaviours that support People Managers in Creating a Positive Workplace. The session takes place digitally (MS Teams) and is supported by:
o Pre-session resources / worksheets
o A one-day learning experience workshop focussed on peer-to-peer dialogue and collaboration.
o Post session resources to support People Managers when they need it most.
• A further one-day interactive workshop comprising of the following key themes (Spotlights) is delivered by the Police Scotland Leadership and Talent team and experts from across People and Development who are on hand to provide specialist knowledge and to answer participants’ questions:
o Capability
o Attendance Management and Duty Modifications
o Workplace Issues and Grievance
o Health and Wellbeing
Ahead of an organisation wide roll out of the programme a pilot was conducted by the Leadership and Talent team to assess the efficacy of the programme and to make recommendations for any changes.
