Item 7: Leadership Capability Framework
|
Chief Executive Employment Committee 23 February 2021 |
REPORT R22642
Leadership Capability Framework
1. Purpose of Report
1.1 To provide the Committee with an overview of Nelson City Council’s new Leadership Capability Framework, a new resource to help the organisation identify, recruit and develop effective leaders.
2. Recommendation
That the Chief Executive Employment Committee 1. Receives the report Leadership Capability Framework (R22642) and its attachment (A2530701). |
2. Background
2.1 In 2019, the People and Capability team began work on a resource – the Leadership Capability Framework – to assist the organisation to articulate what good leadership in this organisation looks like, so that Nelson City Council can identify, recruit and develop excellent leaders.
2.2 The reason for developing the resource was that it was recognised that leadership is a complex construct which means different things in different contexts. This means that in order to identify, recruit and develop good leaders, it is helpful to have a shared understanding of what good leadership looks like in this organisation. A shared understanding of what good leadership is gives us criteria against which to assess current and potential employees for leadership effectiveness and identify areas for development, and provide a means by which to check that the leadership development opportunities we invest in will develop the kind of leaders we want.
2.3 Development of the Leadership Framework involved extensive engagement with employees and our partner union the PSA. The project to develop the framework was delayed first by the Pigeon Valley Fire and then by COVID-19, but was finally completed late in 2020.
2.4 Implementation and integration of the framework into people-related processes commenced late in 2020 and will continue for at least 12 months. The framework will be imbedded throughout recruitment and selection processes, performance management processes, and learning and development activities.
3. Conclusion
3.1 An overview of the Leadership Capability Framework is attached.

Chief Executive Employment Committee 23 February 2021 |
REPORT R22644
Oranga Tonutanga - Nelson City Council's Wellbeing Framework
1. Purpose of Report
1.1 To provide the Committee with an overview of Nelson City Council’s new Wellbeing Framework Oranga Tonutanga, a resource to help the organisation plan and communicate a wellbeing programme that is holistic and aligned with the continued organisational focus on employee wellbeing.
2. Recommendation
That the Chief Executive Employment Committee 1. Receives the report Oranga Tonutanga - Nelson City Council's Wellbeing Framework (R22644) and its attachment (A2534033). |
2. Background
2.1 Nelson City Council has placed considerable focus on supporting employee wellbeing since 2016, when the Wellness Team – an internal employee focus group – was established.
2.2 With input and advice from the Wellness Team, Nelson City Council implemented a variety of wellbeing initiatives between 2016 and 2019. Over this time period, employee feedback on wellbeing showed increased satisfaction across many aspects of wellbeing.
2.3 In 2019 the Wellness Team agreed to focus on developing a framework to articulate the organisation’s approach to supporting wellbeing. The goal was to produce a resource which provided a means of:
2.3.1 Articulating and communicating our organisational approach to wellbeing;
2.3.2 Ensuring our wellbeing approach is aligned with credible external research on wellbeing;
2.3.3 Ensuring our wellbeing initiatives were carefully chosen to address wellbeing across a range of factors.
2.4 The name of Nelson City Council’s wellbeing framework Oranga Tonutanga translates as “continued wellbeing, survival, sustenance”. Oranga Tonutanga is based on Professor Sir Mason Duries’ Te Whare Tapa Wha, which characterises health and wellbeing within four elements of wellness. The Wellness Team added a complementary fifth element relating to environmental wellbeing, reflecting our connection as a Council with the natural environment. This holistic and long term model of health implies that if one wellbeing element is not met, it impacts on other wellbeing elements.
2.5 The five elements of the framework are:
2.5.1 Te taha tinana – physical wellbeing – the ways in which we nourish and care for our bodies;
2.5.2 Te taha hinengaro – mental and emotional wellbeing – thoughts, feelings, and behaviour and the activities and support systems to promote good mental and emotional health;
2.5.3 Te taha wairua – values and beliefs – respect for our own and others’ values and belief systems that influence how we understand and engage with the world around us;
2.5.4 Te taha whanau – relationships and social wellbeing – our sense of belonging, connectedness and relationships with others;
2.5.5 Te taha taiao – connection with the natural environment – as kaitiaki we have a relationship with the land, water, air and living things, and care for the environment which nurtures us in return.
2.6 The attachment, A2534033, shows the framework and provides an indication of past, current and proposed wellbeing initiatives/workplace features which the Wellness Team will be considering further at their next meeting in March to confirm our wellbeing programme for 2021.
