We wanted a holistic people strategy for the county council that serves our values. It's about being proactive, encouraging personal responsibility, equipping managers to lead their teams well and creating a really positive and inclusive environment.
The support from WME have been invaluable.
They have a really well-rounded consultancy offer. They're very responsive, they know the challenge of local government, understand the region and they have got a really well-established associate pool to drawn upon. For such an important restructure, I needed someone independent that I could trust.
