This Development Plan places increased emphasis on the renewal and development of the City Centre as the employment, social and cultural heart of the city and the region. It also supports the gradual expansion of the City Centre eastwards into Docklands and the development of sustainable suburban neighbourhoods.
Our Public Service 2020 Our Public Service 2020 is a framework for development and innovation in Ireland’s public services. The framework is built on three pillars – Delivery for our Public; Innovating for our future and developing our people and organisations. Cork City Council is actively promoting and developing a number of strategies under the pillars. These will enable projects to create value, generate efficiencies, exploit new and emerging technologies and drive learning and change across the public sector, for our citizens and people that use our service.
We are committed to ensuring that the outcomes for our public are central to our service delivery. This is achieved by engaging with all our stakeholders, improving howwe listen, communicate and ensuring services are accessible and cost effective.
Cork City Council will develop projects that will align with our organisational strategies.
We encourage our staff to think imaginatively about how they approach risk and explore the benefits of working with new and different partners in delivering their services and programmes to the public or other organisations. We have developed a People Strategy which will align people objectives, with the overall corporate objectives contained in this plan. The strategy contains a number of objectives and action points in areas such as people management, strategic workforce planning, employee engagement, public sector duty and staff well-being.
