Panel 4 | Mentoring for Modernisation

Mentoring is crucial in a public sector organisation to ensure development, retain present employees, and develop the next generation of leaders. As it stands, 2022 showed a lower employee turnover rate than 2021 numbers; nonetheless, the percentage of public sector workers moving between departments more than doubled last year to 4.8%, suggesting that upskilling the workforce promotes retention. Mentoring is essential for modernising the sector.

Mentoring inside an organisation benefits more than just the person acquiring the information and abilities to further their career; it also benefits mentors as they improve. Mentoring allows you to establish your own network while also broadening your knowledge and encouraging self-reflection.

Ep 51. Diversity, equality and representation with Stuart Love, Chief Executive of Westminster City Council

It is the role of local government leaders to make the decisions that will best deliver for the communities that they represent. That much is obvious.
 

How can they do this, however, if they are not accurately representative of those very communities?
 

Great strides have been made in ensuring that everyone, regardless of their ethnicity, race, gender, or social class is represented in some way within local government. Chief Executive of Westminster City Council Stuart Love joins host Dan Benn to talk about why this work is important, the different work that is being done in Westminster, and how his background influences his stance on equality and diversity.
