NOT HAPPY WITH ‘MY PERFORMANCE’?

UNISON WANTS TO KNOW YOUR CONCERNS AND
HOW WE CAN HELP

 

UNISON has been unhappy with the various forms of
performance appraisal scheme that the county has introduced up to and including
‘my performance’. Now that we are at the end of the appraisal year and the
county is saying that it will review the scheme (again!?) we want to know what
you think. We may also be able to offer assistance if you have specific
problems with your own result.

 

DON’T AGREE WITH YOUR MY PERFORMANCE
RESULT?

At present the appeal process is purely paper based and has no UNISON involvement – both things to which we object.

  • But we can advise you on whether and how to appeal within the existing system.
  • There is an appeal mechanism on the Intranet – see Working Here/ Performance/ my performance.If you want to discuss an appeal contact your local steward/ UNISON rep, or
  • Ring the UNISON office. tel: 01245 354044/ ednet 20913.
  • Email the UNISON office unison@essex.gov.uk or unison.essexcounty@virgin.net

DON’T LIKE THE MY PERFORMANCE SCHEME ITSELF?

TELL US WHAT CHANGES YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

We agree. We think that there should be:

  • Fairer treatment of employees under the performance management system.
  • Removal from the scheme of the ‘normal distribution’ of grading which is allegedly pushing some staff who have met their objectives into the partially and not met categories, which in turn denies them incremental progression or a pay rise.
  • An opportunity to pursue an appeal in person including the right for a UNISON representative to put the case.
  • Unison representation on the moderation and appeals panels.
  • More flexible arrangements regarding allocation of the budget for performance reward to allow team rewards as well as reward for individuals.
  • Full recognition for the additional work that staff are being required to carry out as a result of redundancy of colleagues.

 

What else needs doing to improve the system? Let us know your views –

you don’t have to give a name and contact details but it would help in case we want to discuss further the ideas you have.
