\\ganymede\tens\NBBCdocs\Performance Management Framework.pdfThe purpose of the performance management framework is to improve performance across the Council and service delivery for the communities of Nuneaton and Bedworth.  An effective approach to performance management requires:<br><br>clear organisational vision, plans and priorities; <br>organisational values;<br>customer-focused objectives;<br>regular performance review; and<br>performance-related appraisals. <br><br>Reflecting these principles is the Audit Commission's notion of a "golden thread", which shows a clear connection between opposite ends of the performance management framework: organisational vision and individual performance management framework statements.<br>Some key elements of performance improvement include target setting, process benchmarking and regular and systematic assessment and review. The monitoring of performance against the priorities and targets, where possible, need to be on a monthly basis to identify any remedial action that needs to be taken to ensure that targets are achieved.<br>Besides improved performance and accountability, other benefits of effective performance management include improved inspection results, more efficient services and financial rewards from meeting external targets.<br><br>The Council's performance management framework was agreed in 2004 and has been updated to recognise the changes and improvements that have taken place since then.<br>Person "Performance and Quality Manager"Published onUser Screen "Our Performance"User Screen "Our Performance"Performance Management FrameworkPicture showing T:\Steve G\NBBC-logo-rev.gifTuesday, 23rd December 2008User Screen "Introduction & Framework"User Screen "Portfolio Holders and OSP Performance"User Screen "Monthly Performance Report"User Screen "Community Plan"User Screen "Corporate Plan and Delivery Plan"User Screen "Plans,Policies, Strategies, Standards"User Screen "Warwickshire Local Area Agreement"User Screen "Best Value Performance Indicators"User Screen "Indicators Above Target"User Screen "Indicators On Target"User Screen "Indicators Below Target"
