People and Culture Strategy

A title card reading 'People and Culture Strategy'

Our people and culture strategy 2024 - 2028

North east London (NEL) is a vibrant, diverse and distinctive area of London steeped in history and culture. Our workforce is made up of over 130,000 people who serve a population of over 2.2 million across seven boroughs, with a predicted population increase of 13% over the next ten years.

The People and Culture Strategy is our platform for working together to deliver that change at a system and local level. It creates the shared ambition, aims, priorities and values by which we can all work together to deliver for our health and care workforce and ultimately improve the care and services we provide.

Our four priority pillars

Our strategy will focus on the delivery of our people vision and workforce commitment through our four priority pillars.

Attract (the offer)

Helping our local populations to choose to work in Health and Social Care, (H&SC) supporting their entry into tailored roles and apprenticeships, giving them the best start in employment to enable them to become valued members of our workforce and to thrive with successful careers that are meaningful to them.

Retain (best place to work)

Helping our NEL partners to become ‘employers of first choice’ for our diverse NEL Health and Social Care workforce by creating work environments with safe, inclusive, and empowering cultures which enable all staff to progress and maximise their potential.

Innovate (new ways of working)

Working in a collaboration across the NEL system to develop joined up solutions and to establish the right cultures, protocols and systems to enable the pro-active planning, development, management and deployment of a productive ‘One Workforce for NEL’ that will deliver excellent services to our residents.

Lead (leadership orientation)

Building a compassionate, equitable and inclusive leadership collectively across NEL Health and Social Care that reflects the diverse communities it serves, leads by example supported by developed talent pipelines to maximise our staff’s potential and develop the next cohort of leaders.
