Strategic priorities 12 and 13
LFR is committed to strengthening our ability to provide an excellent service by diversifying our staff, promoting inclusion and creating a fair and equal workplace.
To thrive in a constantly changing environment, we rely on having people with the capabilities and behaviours needed for current and future organisational success. This not only means having the right people in the right roles but also that these people have access to opportunities to help them progress and reach their potential, whether this is in their current role or for a future position.
We must also make sure our workforce is 100% competent in their core skills to ensure we continue to keep our communities safer. Fundamental to this goal is the development and provision of high-quality training, opportunities and talent management processes aligned to national guidance.
