Staff Supervision and Appraisal: In-depth

Summary

Supervision is a live ongoing process that includes regular and frequent meetings between staff members and nominated supervisors to review their work and to provide development and support.

Appraisals are regular but infrequent meetings to review performance and plan development and to set objectives for the coming year.

Both are integral to staff support and development, which in turn raise standards of service delivery.
