How to address poor performance
Ensure you address poor performance promptly. Tell them you have concerns – they cannot improve if they don’t know there’s an issue.
Good management:
* Regular one-to-one meetings
* Setting clear objectives and performance standards
* Giving frequent feedback
1 – Informal discussion:
* Arrange a meeting and clarify expectations and requirements
* Provide more support / training
2 – Formal discussion:
* Set the right tone – discuss good and bad things
* Get their feedback – is there something stopping them from performing
* Discuss specific examples
* Set clear goals and time periods for improvement
3 – Formal Warning:
* Escalate internally – discuss with their line manager.
* If you are their line manager, issue an improvement note. This formalises the issue.
* Outline problem, timescales, review dates, and support.
4 – Move onto another role they are better suited to? If they don’t agree…
5 – Final warnings and Dismissal:
* Put them back onto probation (final warning)
* Dismiss them
What permissions do you need to alter listed buildings?
If a structure is a listed building, it is not covered by the normal planning process and requires Listed Building Consent.
Non-designated heritage assets may be locally put on heritage lists. This means they will warrant special consideration during the planning process
