Report of the Director of Human Resources.

The Committee received a report of the Director of Human Resources which updated Members on the pilot phase for proposed new developmental framework for managing performance.

A Member commented on the Competency Framework as set out in the report before Members noting there was a difference between a vision and a mission and asked officers to bear this in mind. In response, the Director of Human Resources commented that this was a work in progress and was evolving; staff were involved in developing elements of the framework and a pilot of the online system would be taking place in January 2019, with a report to come back to Committee, and the new system to go live in 2019/20. Members noted it would be useful to hear back on the results of the pilot.

RESOLVED – That the Committee note:

a)    the findings and feedback from the pilot phase of the launch of the new appraisal toolkit and the next steps and changes to progress to ‘go-live’ launch phase in April 2019 across the whole Corporation; and

b)    the continuation of the pilot groups using the new competency continuum scales from December - February 2019 in conjunction with the pilot Clear Review online recording tool which launches in November to the pilot groups.
