This document is designed to be read in conjunction with, and complement, the Capability Policy and Procedure These guidance notes aim to provide a resource which will assist managers to use the Capability Policy and Procedure fairly and consistently Suggested template correspondence is provided for managers to use when handling matters relating to capability. 2.0 Rights and Responsibilities 2.1. Employees are responsible for: Ensuring that they are aware of their responsibilities and that they perform their duties to the required standards; Engaging in any reasonable training and development that will enable them to reach the required standards of performance for the job; Understanding that if their work performance falls below the required standard, managers will be obliged to address this; Responding to corrective measures that are identified; Familiarising themselves with the University procedures relating to their employment; Bringing to the attention of their line manager as soon as possible, any work related problems or personal circumstances that may hinder their performance Employees have a right to: Be treated with dignity and respect at all times; Be informed of the requirements / performance standards of their job; Seek help from their managers if they have their own concerns about anything which may be affecting their performance, without prejudice; Be accompanied and/or represented by a recognised Trade Union Representative (this may be a full time official) or a work colleague throughout the formal stages of the procedure. Once notification of a representative is received all relevant correspondence will be copied to the representative. Legal representatives are not allowed to be present at internal capability investigations or hearings Managers are responsible for: Recruiting, selecting, training and managing staff appropriately minimising the risk of poor performance; Setting standards of performance, and ensuring that these are communicated and understood; Ensuring that staff have a reasonable workload; Providing induction to all new staff; Providing regular and timely feedback and appropriate support to help staff reach and maintain the required standards of work; Carrying out staff appraisals Identifying and supporting development and training needs for all staff they line manage; Page 3 of 13

4 Managing poor performance as it becomes apparent to avoid having a detrimental effect on the performance of the University or on staff morale; Ensuring that matters relating to an individual s performance are dealt with sensitively and in line with dignity and respect principles and making appropriate adjustments when necessary Managers have a right to: Be treated with dignity and respect at all times; Enquire, where appropriate, about issues that may be affecting a member of staff s work performance Human Resources are responsible for: Training, advising and supporting managers on the capability policy & procedure; Ensuring consistency in applying the policy & procedure across the University; Attending and keeping a formal record of all meetings in relation to the formal stages of the procedure. Providing support and advice to employees on the capability procedure. Supporting the identification and implementation of training to improve performance. 3.0 Common reasons for Capability Issues 3.1. There are a number of reasons why an individual is unable to perform to the required standards of a role. It is important to understand any underlying factors that may be driving a capability issue The following are common reasons for Capability Issues: Lack of aptitude, skill or experience, which may be the result of inappropriate recruitment, selection, induction or training. Lack of proficiency and poor overall personal organisation / time management Lack of facilities crucial to the individuals performance Changes in the nature and allocation of work including heavy workload Changes in technology Personal / Family Difficulties Short term health problems and/or poor attendance at work, related to genuine ill health. Advice may be sought from HR on any of these matters and particularly health and attendance issues. Reorganisation or redefinition of role Lack of motivation to perform in role. 4.0 Good practice in Managing Capability 4.1. In both the informal or formal stages of capability management it is good practice to give the employee feedback in a meeting and document the discussion and any concerns raised. In the meeting, the manager should: Let the employee know the specific nature of the concerns including how the required standards have not been met with recent examples. Page 4 of 13

5 Ask the employee for their perception of the matter, and their thoughts on how their performance could be improved. Establish the reasons for required standards not being met where possible, taking into account all related factors. Establish a programme to address and improve performance, with the agreement of the employee where possible. This may include additional supervisory support, training or coaching, organisational or temporary workload changes. Where any personal issue is identified, managers should consider support as appropriate through the University Counselling Service, Occupational Health or HR Any programme of remedial action should reflect the discussion and: Set structured targets such as SMART targets (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound) and detail how and when they will be assessed. Set timescales for meeting targets that a competent holder of the post could reasonably be expected to meet. Typically this may be up to 3 months for most support staff but may be longer for more senior or academic role. Ensure that the plan covers relevant training needs and appropriate action in relation to these. Establish regular review meetings within this timeframe. 5.0 Related documents Capability Policy & Procedure Redeployment Policy & Procedure Absence Management Policy & Procedure Page 5 of 13
