Development of a Pay and Reward Strategy for the Food Standards Agency

[Consultancy] Strategic Workforce Planning has identified several workforce challenges and opportunities that warrant further consideration through the development of a Pay and Reward Strategy. These include future capability requirements, recruitment and retention pressures within key professions and specialist occupations, workforce sustainability considerations and the need to remain competitive within challenging labour markets.

The Agency recognises that its current pay and reward arrangements should be reviewed within the context of future workforce requirements. The Agency wishes to better understand the effectiveness of current arrangements, how they compare with relevant comparator organisations and what interventions may support attraction, retention, engagement and workforce resilience.
