Performance improvement policy

The performance improvement policy outlines how we support and manage colleagues whose performance falls below the required standard, ensuring fair, consistent, and effective performance management across the organisation.

The policy applies to all BCP Council colleagues on permanent or fixed-term contracts who have completed their probationary period.

The policy also outlines information about:

• the definition of poor performance
• the formal stages of the process
• informal and formal procedures
• special considerations
• the roles and responsibilities of managers, directors, colleagues, People & Culture, and Trade Unions
