CR&D Overview:

If you’re new to CR&D or just want to remind yourself of the basics, here is a short overview.  In short, CR&D is the name for what you might know as an appraisal…but it’s much much more and it’s a continuous process that you and your manager will use throughout the year.

  • CR&D focuses on continuous improvement and feedback through ongoing one-to-ones and communication between line manager and team members throughout the year.
  • It is built around the Capability Framework and a self-assessment so that we can understand what knowledge, skills and behaviours are needed for our roles and put in place any necessary  development by updating a development plan. 
  • You and your manager will be able to set objectives for yourself at any time of the year, long or short and update this at any time.
  • We use the Council’s HR system ‘CoreHR‘ to record and view all this information.
  • If you are not at the top of your salary grade, then CR&D is used to assess eligibility for salary increments.
