The Management Board discussed Agency performance in Local Taxation, DVS, HR and Finance as part of their regular monthly monitoring.
There had been particular improvements in DVS performance in the first quarter of the year and John Wilkinson would continue to monitor progress closely.
The purpose of the performance management paper, introduced by Barbara Grose, was to report on the review of the current performance management system and to seek the Management Boards endorsement of the recommendations for a revised process.
The June Management Board supported the emerging recommendations of the review and these have been further refined and progressed. The proposal was to deliver a performance management process that :
- Achieved an improvement in performance at all levels
- Engendered personal accountability, ownership and pride
- Stimulated a culture of improvement and innovation
- Increased flexibility
- Encouraged personal learning and development
- Fostered effective team working.
The Board approved the recommendations set out by Barbara Grose in her paper and agreed the framework for the revisions to the performance management process.
Barbara Grose would circulate a further paper providing more detail to the Management Board before the next meeting in September.
The purpose of the pay paper, introduced by Craig Whiteley, was to consider what links needed to be made between performance management and pay. The Board made various recommendations and HR will provide further details of the options for mechanisms for making financial awards.
Diane Leggo provided the Management Board with an update on the Council Tax Revaluation.
In the network there was a significant amount of sales validation work due to finish at the end of September. The majority of Groups were making progress and action plans had been developed to help those Groups experiencing difficulties.
The purpose of this paper, introduced by Alan Sherriff, was to consider a new way of allocating staff resource to Groups and Specialist Teams for 2006/7 onwards to retain the alignment between resource allocation, our productivity aims and the other objectives set out in our overall vision.
The Board agreed to provide a steer to FT & S but were not in a position to make decisions at this meeting as there were significant questions arising from the paper. The Executive Management Board would continue discussions on this issue.
