Bury Metropolitan Council
Bury Metropolitan Borough Council (MBC) in Greater Manchester identifies skills gaps amongst employees and streamlines skills auditing procedures using JGP’s Skills Portal Solution.
After years of maintaining a painfully time-consuming paper-based skills audit procedure and employee appraisal system, Bury MBC has moved to an online alternative in the shape of the JGP skills portal solution.
The skills portal was developed by Bury’s Organisation Development department with consultancy from JGP, who are the people behind www.jobsgopublic.com the UK’s largest public sector jobs board. Initially the Skills Portal was used solely to evaluate and develop new inductees to the Children’s Services team within Bury MBC but has since been rolled out to other departments.
Bury MBC has 51 elected councilors, representing 17 wards and the ideas of an 183,000 strong populace. Bury MBC are continually striving to progress forward in all aspects of local government whether that be community improvement, employee development, or procedural efficiency; ‘ Bury Council is making good progress in the way it delivers services and manages resources.
Having been acclaimed in 2003 as "the most improved council" by the Audit Commission – the council's official watchdog – we have continued to improve.’ Adoption of the customised JGP skills portal system by Bury MBC is an initiative that continues this forward momentum.
