This interactive online training course will explain the Council's Personal Development and Performance Review (PDPR) process.
Managers are responsible for the management of individual and team performance. The workshop focuses on practising the skills to carry out effective meetings, understanding objective setting and making the PDPR process meaningful for all staff.
You will have the opportunity to practice questions around performance. After this course you will be able to explain what you can use for evidence of performance against objectives and competencies and why it needs to be specific, factual, relevant, and appropriate.

These 50 minute coaching sessions with coaches will assist council staff in coming up with strategies and action plans to maintain and build their wellbeing and resilience. Unlike counselling which provides a safe space to explore worries and concerns, these confidential coaching sessions will help staff come up with individual plans to help them build their resilience, understand what they can do to enhance their wellbeing and overcome current and future obstacles. There are activities and exercises that wellbeing coaches can also give people to work through in their own time if they would find it useful.
Please note these sessions will be delivered by skype or telephone. Your coach will contact you to confirm the best method for you.
