Chief Executive Appraisal – Independent Facilitation Service
East Midlands Councils supports the appraisal process for Chief Executives. We can help with the development of a process and/or independently facilitate the appraisal process. Our approach is in line with best practice and reflects the national guidance set out in the Chief Executive’s Handbook. We tailor the service and advice a process for each organisation, and many councils use and value our support.
