At the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), were on a bold mission: to make our region the best place to live, work, and visit. Since our launch in 2016, weve been working hand-in-hand with local councils and partners to deliver transformative change across transport, housing, net zero, skills, and economic growth.
Our newly formedPeople & Culture Services directorate, led bySarah Lal, Chief People & Culture Officer (CPCO), is at the heart of this transformation. Weve set a fresh purpose, crafted a forward-thinking strategy, and are now rolling out anew Target Operating Model - designed to elevate employee experience, boost productivity, and align with WMCAs ambitious goals.
The team are now at the implementation stage of the new model, and this has led to clearer strategic priorities aligned to the WMCA, an increase in capability and specialism and a greater focus on employee experience and productivity.
The team is now focussed on the following areas:
* Health, Safety & Wellbeing
* Facilities, Workplace Services & Business Continuity
* Talent Acquisition & Workforce Planning
* Total Reward & Pay
* Strategic Business Partnering
* HR Operations, Policy & Shared Services
* Professions & Workforce Development
* Organisational Design, Development & Change
* Learning, EDI & Employee Experience
