Employees at Local Government Procurement appreciate the nurturing and supportive culture, with training and professional development opportunities available, including mentorship and career advancement pathways. The organisation offers flexible working hours and conditions, and staff are passionate about procurement and developing long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with councils and suppliers.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as employees needing to be proactive in identifying and pursuing professional development opportunities, as they may not be directly encouraged. There are also strong personalities within the team, though they are passionate about their work and supporting councils. Additionally, some employees feel that compliance with rules and regulations could be improved, and changes in local councils and legislation can present challenges for the organisation.
