The staff performance module can be used by any organisation. It is designed primarily for organisations that need to set out key performance indicators for staff and then conduct ongoing performance reviews with them.

Each job role has associated professional standards. These can either be created by the organisation or can be published by professional bodies. For example:

● Professional standards for FE teachers
● Teachers Standards
● Headteachers Standards
● Higher Education Professional Standards
● Professional standards are then aligned to performance objectives.

Professional standards can also be aligned with CPD records.

No. Staff performance management using Stedfast saves time. Once professional standards and staff performance objectives have been added then you can get started with staff appraisals. We can also help adding the professional standards for you.

These are set by line managers or HR and are the expected key performance indicators for staff. They can be transferred from one year to the next and then added to or changed. When conducted staff reviews, the reviewer and reviewer work through each performance objective and add findings and action goals.

You can review staff as often or as little as you want. Your staff review cycle is entirely up to you. Different members of staff can be reviewed at different timescales.

Absolutely. OfSTED will expect to see that you performance manage your staff. They will also want to see how you support them in their CPD and personal well being. More information can be found in the Education Inspection Framework.
