    Staff Appraisal & Revalidation

    The Trust approach is based on the principle that appraisal and revalidation is an essential part of good practice in managing people. It enables the organisation to ensure employees can assist in meeting organisational aims through the process of managing performance and identification of development needs. It also gives staff the opportunity to discuss their performance and development needs with their manager and ensures that they are clear about what they are trying to achieve both in their current role and for the future.

    The organisation has a basic requirement of such good practice, which can be audited to ensure that it is achieved. This standard is outline below:

    Managers will meet with staff they directly manage, at least once per year on a formal basis, with informal progress reviews at least every six months.

    There is a clear and current agreement about the job plan the employee is expected to do covering the purpose, aims, responsibilities and tasks. Every member of staff will have work-based objectives which link to organisational standards and the business plan of their directorate/department.

    Every employee should have a Personal Development Plan (PDP) outlining short and long-term learning and development aims and actions to meet these. The Head of Department, who will also ensure fairness and consistency, will appropriately monitor appraisal to ensure all staff in their area are having an appraisal. The Human Resource department will be responsible for monitoring compliance across the Trust.

    All staff who carry out appraisal will be given support and training as required.
