FOREWORD The culture and ethics of the Authority is underpinned by the welfare and safety of clients. We promote respect for all clients irrespective of their social status or medical condition. The Performance Management System in the Authority is a mechanism which is put in place to ensure optimal work output from staff. This policy aims at improving performance of staff of the Authority in a systematic and sustainable manner, by inculcating a culture of accountability in every member of staff. The implementation of this Performance Management System (PMS) involves both appraiser and appraisee agreeing on set performance targets and objectives Regular progress review of set targets and objectives by the appraiser helps to know the areas of challenges and take remedial actions timeously to address it. All workers are urged to embrace the Core Values, Mission and Vision of the Authority, and shed attitudes which are not in consonance with the direction of the Authority.
