Working in partnership with the internal compliance team to coordinate activity across the People and Places team.

• Governance & Assurance Framework: Create and maintain a robust governance, assurance, and evidence mechanism that includes ownership details, timelines, and relevant content. Ensure the SPPP (Strategy, policy, process and procedure) framework for the People team remains current, compliant, and accurate at all times.

• System Oversight: Oversee updates in iGrafx and AuditBoard in coordination with sub-team leads, ensuring compliance data integrity and timely updates.

• Culture of Compliance: Embed compliance as a core value across the People & Places function, challenging existing practices and ensuring solutions are risk-based and proportionate.

• Policy Review: Work closely with document owners to provide a second-level review of all People policies to ensure compliance with licensing and legislative requirements.

• Mandatory Training Strategy: Conduct a comprehensive review of all mandatory training programs, assessing user-friendliness, alignment with purpose, frequency, and delivery methods.

o Collaborate with internal stakeholders and the LMS provider to evaluate delivery options and explore cost-effective alternatives.

o Develop a mandatory training policy limiting annual mandatory training to 10 hours.

o Redesign training to embed real competence, not just completion, with rollout planned for 2027.

o Encourage content owners to seek alternative approaches before designating content as mandatory.

• Continuous Improvement: Recommend and implement process improvements to strengthen compliance, reduce risk exposure, and improve efficiency.
