Chief Fire Officer and Chief Executive: Performance Appraisal and Development Scheme

Minutes:

Consideration was given to a report of the Director of Transformation which outlined the Performance Appraisal and Development Scheme [PADS] that enabled CFRS to review an employee`s performance against delivery of agreed priorities/objectives, grade the contribution and performance, identify individual and organisational development needs, and support succession planning.

The PADS scheme operated from top to bottom across the whole of the Service and is particularly important at the top of the organisation, as Members seek to agree objectives with the Chief Fire Officer and Chief Executive, which ensure delivery of the Service’s Integrated Risk Management Plan [IRMP].

Members were asked to review the performance of the Chief Fire Officer and Chief Executive against the objectives set in 2018-19 and to agree key objectives and development needs, following discussions with the Chief Fire Officer and Chief Executive, for the coming year.

The Chief Fire Officer and Chief Executive’s interim appraisal discussion was scheduled to take place on 23rd October 2019.

RESOLVED That:

[1]       the Chief Fire Officer and Chief Executive’s appraisal be agreed as discussed;

[2]       the appraisal key objectives for 2019-20 are drafted and circulated to Members for review and approval; and

[3]       Members agree to carry out an interim appraisal discussion on 23rd October 2019.
