Developing a new future The GLA employs people who are flexible and collaborative in their approach to work. This recognises the value of project working and the scope to use transferable creative skills in a variety of work areas. The contribution that individuals can make to the organisation and London will be more important than employment history. The GLA is committed to developing London as an inclusive and vibrant culture of respect for, and celebration of, diversity. This approach ensures that the GLA itself, through its recruitment of staff aims to have a workforce that is representative of the community it serves.
Staff play a vital role in making change happen.
They are involved in knitting partnerships together and acting as facilitators to a new policy or initiative. The attraction is the challenge of acting as a catalyst. Once a project has been successfully completed and the operation of the activity handed over to others there is a fresh challenge, through which individuals build and develop their futures. Achievement of high quality standards with the fullest regard to public probity, is a hallmark of the GLA's work because of the high profile and being open to the widest scrutiny in London and beyond. Greater London Authority functions Responsibilities of the GLA, which is made up of the Mayor of London and the London Assembly, are wide ranging.
