Rewarding Great People - Issue 1

ONLINE APPRAISALS

Our last ‘ Have Your Say ’ employee survey revealed that you have an appetite for greater feedback, recognition, and two-way communication. Following the success of the revamped and relaunched appraisal process for office-based employees last year, and after gathering feedback and ideas from our operational teams, we are now launching a similar scheme developed specifically for our frontline colleagues. Between June and September, every site-based employee with over six months’ service will have the opportunity for dedicated one-on-one time with their supervisor. This opportunity will focus discussions on celebrating the great work being delivered, and the creation of a plan of action to support with any areas of skills or career development. Each employee’s self-development ’wants and needs‘ will be different, so this approach will allow us to develop clear and successful career pathways within the business to enable everyone to fulfil their full potential. The new process will use an online form that can be completed on a laptop, tablet, or smartphone (using a link on i-Mobile), so it couldn’t be easier! Information about our employees’ training needs and performance levels will be collected at the touch of a button and shared with our L&D and HR teams for action and recording. We aim to use the appraisal content to generate recognition for work well done, and to identify appropriate support for those who need it.
