In addition, there are employees who have agreed objectives, had mid-year and year end performance reviews, but have not recorded them.

  1. As at the end of March 2023 there were 3 employees being formally managed by the Case Management team under the Capability policy. There are also 2 individuals undergoing a formal Capability process through the Medical Staffing team with a further 3 individuals in a pre-formal process with the Medical Staffing team.

We only record centrally those on a formal process, all other information is managed at a local level.

  1. It is not possible to determine the percentage of employees who submit timesheets as this varies month on month. There are about 1,300 timesheets processed per month, although this may include more than one time sheet per individual.
