The performance management and development system has been implemented in my Department, with the fully integrated performance development model linking the process to the awarding of increments, higher scale posts and promotion posts operating from 1 January 2007.
A Competency Framework has been developed for staff and a performance management and development system calendar set out for staff within which each phase of the process takes place on an annual basis. The identification of staff training and development needs is also an integral part of the performance management and development system and enables my Department to meet formal staff training needs in a structured way.
The system is operated in my Department in accordance with the guidelines.
