Revision Date: September 2027
It is the policy of Millom Town Council to maintain a meaningful and effective appraisal system that will monitor performance against agreed and achievable targets and responsibilities and provide an opportunity for each member of staff to have his or her performance reviewed. It must include steps to improve performance.
The main aim is to provide an improved channel for effective communication between the Town Council and its staff. This will help to provide an efficient service and a satisfactory working environment affording job satisfaction to all employees. Once an employee’s probationary period is complete they must continue to have the opportunity to discuss their performance with their line manager or a Town Councillor.
