Build on good performance with recognition. This could take the form of development opportunities, which benefit you and the individual. For example:

• greater involvement in planning/decision making
• exposure at a more senior or challenging level

This not only recognises the individual's good performance, but helps to continue their development, enhance their job satisfaction and support the work of the department.

Continued high performance may indicate that an employee is ready for a different or bigger role. This should be explored with the staff member during one-to-one discussions and their annual Performance Review, bearing in mind that there are differences in the way career progression operates for Academic, Research and Teaching (ART) staff and those in support roles.
