The Guardian and BBC are both leading on this story this morning.
Once again we have a broad brush statement from politicians that civil service performance needs improving without any real evidence.
Performance related pay seems to be on the cards again, my experience of it was not good. Hours spent collecting and documenting personal evidence as well as reviewing staff's evidence. Then an annual series of comparison meetings to decide where people fitted on the arbitrary bell shaped curve that determined who got what. The individual bonuses involved were not much, IIRC the year I got a top award the amount was around £400.
I really hope this doesn't return as it was a waste of time, a divisive exercise for no real gain for anyone.
To improve performance they need to:
Drop competency based criteria and bring back minimal qualifications for new starters.
Improve pay conditions.
