Performance management systems require adjustment for staff with disabilities

Only one in four employers confirmed that their performance management systems are adapted for staff with special needs, disabilities and conditions such as dyslexia and autism. Research from Acas asked employers about performance management systems within their workplaces. The study also found that one in 10 employers said that their performance management system was demotivating for staff; and that their systems were used for planning and monitoring training and development.
