Performance appraisals
The Performance Management Appraisal Scheme (PAS) plays a crucial role in our learning and development strategy. The PAS has three 3 parts:
- performance review
- support
- development
Development needs are identified through regular 1-2-1 discussions with your line manager. Where development needs have been identified individuals are able to book onto training courses through an on line self-service portal. All learning and development requests are approved by your line manager.
Learning and development activities are delivered through a variety of methods including classroom based training, desk training, attendance at conferences and e-learning, webinars and conferences.
Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
We pride ourselves on being a learning organisation and as such all staff are required to complete a CPD log. Staff manage their CPD log via our portal. This log is then used when completing the PAS. You are able to record all your personal learning activities to support your continuous professional development onto your own personal learning log through the on line employee self-service portal.
Personal development plan
You will also have a personal development plan which you will be able to review and monitor through the HR employee self-service portal.
Equality and human rights
