This document contains a review of the Cairngorms National Park Authority's workforce management strategy and associated risks. The review, presented to the Audit and Risk Committee, highlights existing risks related to staff workload and morale due to increased project demands. It recommends adding another strategic risk to the register: failure to manage staffing numbers effectively will reduce the capacity to invest in key National Park projects. The document also details current workforce management actions, including a revised strategy focusing on flexibility, contract management, and succession planning, to mitigate these risks. A staff survey is planned to further assess staff morale and motivation.
