Treasury: Performance Appraisal

Asked by Mr Peter BedfordConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 16 April 2026UIN 123937

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many departmental employees were on performance management plans in (a) 2023, (b) 2024 and (c) 2025.

Answered by Lucy Rigby

Performance improvement plans are usually put in place when performance concerns are first identified. As such, these documents are held locally by employees and their line managers meaning there is no central record held of all employees on them.

Where performance issues persist employees are moved onto a formal process, which could end with dismissal should performance not meet the required standard.
