(i)       to approve the updated policy document;

(ii)       to instruct the Interim Chief Officer – People and Organisational Development to ensure that a full review is undertaken of the process and guidance in consultation with the Trade Unions and managers; and

(iii)      to instruct the Interim Chief Officer - People and Organisational Development to ensure that the Policy document and all supporting process and guidance documents are easily accessible to all staff and managers and that managers are supported in the fair and consistent application of the policy and process through appropriate training.

The Committee had before it a report by the Director of Customer Services which presented the updated Managing Performance Policy for approval.  The report advised that feedback on the policy had been sought and had identified that the matters which required to be addressed related to the process and guidance which accompanied the policy, rather than the policy itself.  It was noted that work was underway with focus groups, including Trade Union colleagues, to update those documents, with work expected to be completed by the end of February 2024.

The report recommended:-

that the Committee –

(a)      approve the updated policy document;

(b)      instruct the Interim Chief Officer – People and Organisational Development to ensure that a full review be undertaken of the process and guidance in consultation with the Trade Unions and managers; and

(c)      instruct the Interim Chief Officer - People and Organisational Development to ensure that the Policy document and all supporting process and guidance documents were easily accessible to all staff and managers and that managers were supported in the fair and consistent application of the policy and process through appropriate training.

The Committee resolved:-

to approve the recommendations.
