Staff appraisal and development procedure

The aim of the appraisal process is to facilitate the achievement of agreed personal
professional improvement goals, as drafted by the employee. The relationship
between an employee and their appraisal overseer is therefore one of discussion,
clarification, guidance and support. The relationship between an employee and a
partnered colleague is one of exploration, definition, prioritisation, refinement,
resource identification, achievement, and celebration.

Each employee is responsible for drafting and executing a professional development


plan to achieve improvement goals. Each appraisal overseer is responsible for
ensuring that improvement goals are SMART, ratifying the improvement plan and
facilitating progress by offering encouragement, support, and synergetic
relationships across staff members.
