5 Definitions That Apply to This Policy Performance and Development Review (PDR) Appraisal Personal Development Plan (PDP) Reviewer Reviewee Due Regard This is the process whereby an employee meets at least annually with their appraiser (manager or nominated deputy) to discuss their performance for the last year, appraise objectives set for the previous year and agree a Personal Development Plan (PDP) for the coming year. This forms the part of the PDR where the manager and employee discuss performance and objectives set for the previous year. Employees provide or discuss evidence for achievement, or reasons are discussed as to why objectives set in the PDP could not be achieved. This is the part of the process where a development plan for the forthcoming year is discussed and agreed. A reviewer is the person who undertakes the PDR. This is the member of staff who undertakes a PDR to appraise their performance against agreed objectives for the previous year with their reviewer, providing written or verbal evidence for their performance. Additionally they agree to Personal Development Plan objectives for the forthcoming year, Having due regard for advancing equality involves: Removing or minimising disadvantages suffered by people due to their protected characteristics. Taking steps to meet the needs of people from protected groups where these are different from the needs of other people. Encouraging people from protected groups to participate in public life or in other activities where their participation is disproportionately low. Performance and Development Review Policy Version 8 5 of 11
6 Equality Statement Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) aims to design and implement policy documents that meet the diverse needs of our service, population and workforce, ensuring that none are placed at a disadvantage over others. It takes into account the provisions of the Equality Act 2010 and advances equal opportunities for all. This document has been assessed to ensure that no one receives less favourable treatment on the protected characteristics of their age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex (gender) or sexual orientation. In carrying out its functions, LPT must have due regard to the different needs of different protected equality groups in their area. This applies to all the activities for which LPT is responsible, including policy development, review and implementation. 1.0 Summary 1.1 This document describes the process required to undertake a mandatory annual Performance and Development Review that is a requirement for all staff working within Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust. 2.0 Introduction 2.1 An organisation s members of staff are its most valuable resource and they are critical to its effective and efficient development. In order for members of staff to make a contribution to organisational development and achieve full competence in their role, it is essential that all individuals have: A clear job description A person specification Knowledge of the mandatory training requirements for the role Access to appropriate training and development opportunities Clear objectives, linked to the objectives of the organisation 2.2 The Performance and Development Review (PDR) is a mandatory part of the management process. It should be an ongoing feature of the working relationship between managers and individuals within their team. 2.3 The PDR process is intended to be a positive development experience and should not be used by managers to initiate discussions relating to performance problems. Identified performance problems should be dealt with as they occur using the Performance Management Policy and Procedure for Leicestershire Partnership Trust. However the PDR process can be used to ensure development opportunities are made available to assist the individual in effectively overcoming performance issues. 2.4 Throughout the PDR process all members of staff should be treated fairly and equitably. This is a mandatory process accessible by all and managers/reviewers should take the diversity of staff and individual needs into consideration when implementing the PDR process. Performance and Development Review Policy Version 8 6 of 11
7 2.5 The PDR process is supported by the following: Mandatory Training Policy Study Leave Policy 3.0 Responsibilities This section describes the key roles and responsibilities required for a successful PDR process to be achieved. 3.1 Trust Board Agree strategic objectives to be clearly disseminated throughout the organisation 3.2 Directors Ensure the PDR process is effectively implemented within Division and Enabling Services staff Managers are provided with a wider perspective of the organisation/division future needs and objectives Identified development needs are resourced equitably and fairly to support organisation/division objectives (resources should be agreed with Academy Division/Enabling Service Leads prior to them being agreed within the PDP as part of the PDR) 3.3 Reviewers Ensure that each individual that they manage has an annual PDR in line with this policy It is recommended as good practice that only 8 PDR s or less are undertaken by those in the role of reviewer. This is generally the manager or nominated deputy which will be of a higher Band than the reviewee. In some circumstances the reviewer might be of the same Band and suitably experienced to undertake the PDR. Where the line manager is not of the same/similar professional role as the individual being reviewed, an appropriate additional reviewer from the same professional role can be called upon to contribute to the PDR process. Make protected time available for these to be carried out effectively and those in the role of manager/reviewer are trained to undertake this role As a priority, knowledge about the mandatory training requirements for the individual s role should be gained, documented in the PDR and the individual should be released to do this training Individuals are given the opportunity to undertake the activities identified in the PDP and are encouraged to share and apply their learning in the workplace Personal Development Plans (PDP) produced should reflect the organisation/division future needs and objectives and any funding requirements need to be secured with the Academy Division/Enabling Service Leads before being agreed in the PDP Reviewers should review progress on objectives set and the PDP of the individual they are responsible for at least at the six-month stage of the annual PDR Upon completion of the PDR with the individual member of staff this should be recorded as being completed either via the Electronic Staff Record system if appropriate or by the Academy PDR reporting process. Performance and Development Review Policy Version 8 7 of 11
8 3.3 The Individual Prepare for their PDR this will include providing evidence for achievement of objectives set and learning agreed within the PDP Take an active role in the PDR process this is all about you and your development and training needs. It should not feel like a situation of threat but an opportunity to develop and grow Attend activities identified in their PDR when time has been made available to do so. Keep evidence to produce at the PDR review As this is a mandatory requirement for all staff, if there is a reason that an annual PDR does not take place, the next level of management above their line manager should be informed (e.g. long term absence) 3.4 LPT Academy Provide training for reviewers in the undertaking of a PDR. Provide a toolkit for the benefit of staff and managers. Record data on completed PDR s in order to report compliance to Trust Board in line with CQC standard requirements. 3.5 The effectiveness of appraisal related training, including issues of fairness, equality, diversity and consistency, will be determined by evaluation of programmes, questionnaires, audit outcomes and discussions with members of staff and reviewers. Training will be reviewed in light of this evaluation. 4.0 The Performance and Development Review Process 4.1 The PDR process applies to all individuals who are employed by Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust whether on full, part-time, temporary, fixed term or other types of employment contract. For new members of staff, either new to the Trust or moving into a new post, an initial review should take place within the first three months. This review will discuss the job description, working environment and mandatory training requirements. A Personal Development Plan will be produced that reflects the learning and development requirements for the first year. This will be reviewed at least once in the first 6 months, then the full PDR process will take place at the 12 month period. 4.2 The table in this section details the full PDR process with an outline of the key actions on the part of the reviewer and reviewee at each stage of the process.

9 5.0 Due Regard 5.1 The Trust s commitment to equality means that this policy has been screened in relation to paying due regard to the general duty of the Equality Act 2010 to eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment, victimisation; advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations. 5.2 All members of staff regardless of their age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex (gender) or sexual orientation have access to a regular discussion with their line manager and there is no impact on an individual s dignity or human rights. 5.3 In relation to this policy there is no discrimination as the policy is applicable to all members of staff. The provision of Equality and Diversity training is considered during the personal development planning process. 5.4 Due regard will also be demonstrated through the use of human resources best practice and have adherence to all relevant employment legislation. 5.5 In addition to the examples highlighted above, equality monitoring of all relevant protected characteristics to whom the policy applies will be undertaken. Robust actions to reduce, mitigate and where possible remove any adverse impact will be agreed and effectively monitored. 5.6 This policy will be continually reviewed to ensure any inequality of opportunity for service users, patients, carers and staff are eliminated wherever possible. 6.0 Dissemination and Implementation 6.1 The policy is approved by the Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust Workforce and OD Committee and is accepted as a Trust wide policy. This policy will be disseminated immediately throughout the Trust following ratification. 6.2 The dissemination and implementation process is: Line Manager will convey the contents of this policy to their staff Staff will be made aware of this policy using existing staff newsletters and team briefings The Policy will be published and made available on the Intranet Performance and Development Review Policy Version 8 9 of 11
