How will the process be affected if members of staff are required to improve on areas that only occur annually in the academic year – will this draw out the process?
If a task only occurs on an annual basis it is likely to draw out the process because that point in the year will need to be reached before the manager can clarify whether the target has been met. Should this be the case, the manager should alert the member of staff about the areas required for improvement as soon as this is picked up.
