Performance Management: 2020/2021

•   Objectives should be carefully considered, not linked to catch up, performance
    measures or accountability measures.
•   Performance should not be judged around the use of online or remote learning
    lessons or platforms.
•   Employers will need to be flexible due to the unpredictable situation
