How to use SM&CR regulations as a catalyst for engagement

There are numerous regulatory systems on the market designed to report on the senior management aspects of the SM&CR regulation. These regulatory systems often capture CPD or conduct requirements in a ‘tick-box’ way. However, stepping back, it seems obvious that evidencing and giving feedback on (conduct) behaviours fits logically within another annual process that should be pre-existing – the appraisal. This makes even more sense when we add in CPD.SM&CR Regulations

Appraisal VS SM&CR

Running parallel processes of SM&CR and appraisal could cause conflict. Both purposes are widely different. Appraisals are about enabling the individual to perform well, developing their skills, nurturing talent, increasing engagement and retention. These are key priorities for many businesses. Whereas SM&CR is a regulatory process there to eliminate risk. Perhaps most importantly, the senior people in the business will be culpable if processes aren’t put in place for SM&CR. Therefore, it is definitely NOT optional. Strategically, both are important – but let’s face it, in a fight between HR and Compliance we all know who will win every time!

Integrating Performance Management Processes and SM&CR requirements?

Integration of Performance Management and SM&CR processes can bring huge value to both. It will likely improve take-up and commitment to appraisals, whilst also preventing SM&CR from becoming a ‘tick-box’ exercise. By improving the quality of behavioural conversations and aligned development the value to Performance Management and SM&CR processes may be seen.
