Appraisal and Development Review (ADR)
The Appraisal and Development Review Framework sets out the councils' overall approach to the systematic review of employee performance and development.
This supports the People Strategy outcomes:
- Engaging and motivating our employees
- Recognised as a good employer
- Helping our employees to succeed
The framework explains how performance is defined for appraisal and review purposes at different levels in the council and how development needs should be assessed against the performance needs of the job and the individual.
