Council transformation continues with improvements to people management systems
Moray Council is continuing to modernise the way it works, with improvements to its people management systems designed to reduce manual processes, improve efficiency and give managers and employees easier access to the information and services they need.
The 12-month project will unlock features already available within the system to automate processes, expand employee and manager self-service, and reduce reliance on manual forms, spreadsheets and email-based administration.
The update to i-Trent will support all people management functions including recruitment, sickness absence management and employee records. The improvements will help create more consistent ways of working, reduce duplication and human error, and provide better-quality workforce data to support decision making.
Leader of Moray Council, Cllr Kathleen Robertson, said: “This is an important invest-to-improve project that will help us make the most of technology we already have. By reducing manual processes and improving access to reliable information, we can work more efficiently and make better-informed decisions. Ultimately, that means staff can spend more time focusing on delivering services for the people and communities of Moray.”
The project forms part of the council’s wider transformation programme and supports its ambition for smarter internal systems and increased digitalisation across the organisation. The project will create two fixed-term full-time jobs to implement and test the improvements.
