This guide helps small and medium enterprises establish fair processes for addressing performance issues, distinguishing them from misconduct cases, and supporting employee development.

    We are a small (approx 50)multi-site organisation and introduced a capability policy fairly recently. Happily we have limited experience in using it, but on the 1 or 2 occasions the procedures have been invoked, they have has the effect of improving performance. We make it clear that our preferred outcome is an improvement in performance, not a parting of the ways, and we consulted widely among managers and staff before bringing it in. I will happily give you more details if you contact me direct on pillayc@ema.org.uk
