MORE OPPORTUNITIES The people sup our people A year into the role of People Director, Lisa Pearl explains how, alongside developing
our new People Plan, the team have been focussing on how they can help improve their capability to support teams across the organisation.
“We’ve been busy carrying out end-to-end process reviews and upskilling teams within our department so we can work together more effectively and offer a solid service as people experts within the business. A really important part of our work is the on-going development and progression of all our people-driven activity and its effectiveness. For example, we assess organisational effectiveness in areas such as team performance, employee development, operational efficiency, organisation structure, and managing change.” The Organisation Effectiveness team (formerly known as
Organisational Development) led by Michelle Stansfield, our new Head of Organisation Effectiveness, is a key part of this work, as Michelle explains: “I’m really pleased to have joined Anchor and have previously undertaken ‘Head of’ roles in the areas of transformation, organisational capability and strategic resourcing, for the NHS and other large employers. I’m excited to be joining a sector with so many opportunities to make good use of people’s talents and provide fulfilling careers. “My team is best known for its learning programmes, with them working hard to continually develop and deliver high-quality training that reaches every corner of the business. In addition to this, they focus on activities to support colleagues’ careers, including induction programmes, apprenticeship and leadership programmes, and plenty more besides. As we get ready to deliver the new Anchor People Strategy and our commitment to providing ‘more opportunities for colleagues’, there are a range of projects which colleagues can get involved in, with three of those highlighted on the next page.”
