Demonstrating our behaviours
Our behaviours influence how we work, our development, our progress and our success. This section gives
you the opportunity to show how you’ve lived our behaviours during the year.
Accountable – take personal responsibility
for your actions and don’t make excuses
about why something isn’t possible. Tell
others what they can expect from you.
Active – step up, don’t wait for others.
Make things happen. Make things better
and find solutions to problems.
Collaborative – share your knowledge
with others outside your immediate team
so everyone can make better decisions.
Don’t waste time by excluding others.
Direct – get each task done as quickly as
possible, by communicating clearly and
not wasting time.
Fair and consistent – be open and
honest about your decisions and consider
other people’s viewpoints and needs.
Look for our behaviours matrix on the
Managing Performance pages on Source.
How I’ve demonstrated our behaviours
Please include examples of how using our behaviours has positively affected your work throughout the year.

8. 8 My performance and development conversations
Using competencies, technical skills
and operational requirements
Competencies are the generic skills, including interpersonal skills,
and knowledge that we need to perform well in our roles and deliver
excellent business performance. Through research, we’ve identified
15 competencies which are relevant across our organisation, but
not all of these will be applicable to an individual role.
Use competencies to
• Understand what’s expected of you in your role
• Help you identify areas you need to develop to achieve your
performance and development objectives
• Understand what might be expected of you if you’re working
on a particular project or towards a stretch objective
• Understand what’s expected in other roles you might want
to move to
• Identify specific learning and development actions to develop
your competencies
• Support your performance and development conversations
with your manager
Technical skills and operational requirements are the specialist
skills and qualifications required for specific roles in our organisation.
They may be skills you can develop on internal programmes, or
through external qualifications such as those developed by specialist
bodies, or degree courses. Updates to technical skills or operational
requirements can also be driven by changes in legislation.
Not all roles have technical skills or operational requirements.
If these are needed for your current role, or roles you may wish to
move to, discuss these with your manager.
There is more information about competencies, technical skills,
operational requirements and development options on the
Managing Performance pages on Source.

What happens next?
Once you and your manager have completed your end of year
performance and development conversation, your manager will
decide a performance rating for you that reflects your performance
and behaviour over the full year.
The management team in your area then meets to review all the
ratings given, to make sure they’re fair and consistent. Your manager
tells you what your performance rating is once all ratings have been
signed off by the Managing Directors and Commissioner. After the full
authorisation process, your manager will confirm your rating to you.
For some grades, ratings are linked to performance pay.
If your performance is either low standard or improvement needed,
you will be placed on a performance improvement plan. There is
more information about the performance improvement plan on the
Managing Performance pages on Source.
There are many ways to recognise good performance. When
assessing your overall performance your manager will consider any
one-off actions you may have performed which were above and
beyond the required duties of your role. Your manager will show
appreciation and thank you for your efforts. They may nominate you
for a Make a Difference award if your actions were aligned to our
behaviours and match the criteria of the scheme.
The process for receiving
your rating is:
Step 1
Year end performance and
development conversation
Step 2
Your manager decides a
performance rating based
on your performance against
objectives and behaviours
Step 3
If your rating is low standard
or improvement needed,
your manager will put
in place a performance
improvement plan
Step 4
Your local management team
has a calibration meeting
to check ratings in your
department are fair and
consistent
Step 5
Your manager puts your
performance rating on to SAP
Step 6
Your manager tells you what
your performance rating is
once all ratings have been
signed off by the Managing
Directors and Commissioner
