The Cordis Pulse summarises key research and policy developments across children's services, adult social care, criminal justice and the NHS. Included in this month's Pulse is the publication of two performance management guides ‘Performance management guide for councillors’ and ‘Performance management guide for local authority officers’. Cordis Bright worked collaboratively with the Local Government Association and a range of stakeholders to produce these guides. They contain ideas, tools, and approaches to help councillors and officers manage and deliver performance management effectively. In developing both guides, we undertook a review of evidence concerning effective performance management in councils and engaged directly with councillors and officers through workshops and focus groups. It is hoped that these guides will inspire councillors and local authority officers to think about new ways to approach performance management and ultimately to improve outcomes for citizens.
