A new online appraisal system is to be
rolled-out from the end of April which will see it replace the
paper-based system.

The
appraisal system called, Actus online, will be introduced to all
areas of the organisation, except A&E operations and EOC staff,
from Monday 24 April.  A&E operational and EOC staff will
be included once areas of reorganisation in these departments has
been completed.

Over the past few months, we have been working
on this exciting new development with Actus in developing a
bespoke, web-based appraisal system that allows us to record the
outcomes of 1-2-1 meetings and learning and development
conversations, capture annual objectives, as well as incorporating
appraisals of past performance and outcomes of future career
planning discussions. 

To supported managers and staff in using the
new system, classroom training and video guides along with ongoing
support from local system super users will be provided. 

The system is compatible with tablets, laptops
and desktop computers, available to both office-based staff and
front-line colleagues. 

This is your system; it will continue to
evolve and develop over time, based on your wants and needs. 
Please test it, play around with it and let us know what you think
– what works, what doesn’t work and what can be done to improve it
further.  Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Please look out for introductory Actus online
appraisal training sessions advertised at a location near you in
the near future.
