We will also continue to encourage our employees to speak their preferred language in the
workplace and provide opportunities to employees who wish to learn Welsh.

We will influence the achievement of a Globally Responsible Wales by continuing to make
significant changes to reduce the amount of paper used in our activities by encouraging
the submission of all electronic correspondence and documentation.
As specified within the Act, Public Services Boards must utilise the sustainable
development principle to maximise contribution to the achievement of the seven national
well-being goals by addressing the specific well-being needs of the area. We have
embraced this principle and are fully committed to undertaking our responsibilities as
a statutory partner. We have subsequently implemented the ethos of ensuring that the
needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations in our
business practices.

The significance of the Objectives contained within each of the six Public Service
Board’s Well-being Plans, is reflected in our own Draft Improvement and Well-being
Objectives, which ensure that working with our partners to deliver better outcomes for our
communities remains a priority.

Not only have we considered the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 in the
formation of this plan, we have also embedded a number of new ways of working within
the day to day running of the organisation. The Golden Thread of the Service is greatly
influenced by the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. From our individual
development plans and departmental strategies, through to our Draft Corporate Plan
2020-2025, the ethos of the Act is at the forefront of our minds.
Whether its forming new partnerships; adopting a horizon scanning approach as part
of our future planning processes; or embedding the Well-being of Future Generations
(Wales) Act 2015 project framework within the delivery of our own corporate projects, we
will ensure that the needs of the present will be met, without compromising our future
generations.
