Future Focus

www.hertsdirect.org

"In these challenging times for the public sector, our success is totally dependent on the commitment and dedication of the talented people who work here. We couldn't meet our targets for savings, service improvement and organisational change without making the most of their potential and we couldn't do that without the learning and development team. They've made a significant contribution to our transformation programme by supporting us to do things differently to build our capacity through a range ground breaking programmes that have a clear focus on outcomes for the organisation".
