Asked by Joe RobertsonConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 1 April 2025UIN 40727

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what data his Department collects on the outcomes of performance management procedures.

Answered by Georgia Gould

Cabinet Office staff, except those on career breaks or new joiners, are allocated a performance marking at mid-year and end of the year. All line managers are instructed to upload these performance markings onto our HR system, which is called SOP.

In March, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster also announced that the Government will be strengthening performance processes for the SCS.
