In line with the sectoral agreement dated 28th November
2018, the Nursing Services Directorate has developed an appraisal system to
evaluate the clinical/management performance of all officers in Salary Scale 8
or above within the nursing and midwifery class working within the public
services.
The purpose of the performance appraisal is to evaluate an individual
performance based on their job requirements. The performance management
programme requires clear expectations and understanding of the job description
and the responsibilities it entails by both the appraisee and the appraiser.
The proposed performance appraisal is intended to provide a means to
motivate employees to reflect and embark on a continuous improvement strategy,
which will ultimately lead to better patient outcome. This is achieved through
the:
- Establishment
of shared understanding of roles and responsibilities;
- Development
of a means of coordinating work so that
the aims and objectives of the entity/services/ministry and the individual responsibilities
are aligned;
- Establishment
of a method of providing regular, ongoing feedback to the appraisee in a way
that supports their motivation;
- Development
of a dialogue between employees and their supervisors which can help to
identify problem areas, diagnose the causes and implement a plan of action to
address such areas.
