Audit / Review
A yearly audit from external colleagues or a self-review with all the CF staff will allow you to reflect on your performance, identify and solve problems together and think of possible improvements (the Self-assessment by EQIPD can give guidance). You should cover the following topics:
- Past: check the implementation status of the previous year’s resolutions and assess their usefulness.
- Present: review the current processes.
- Future: identify improvements to implement in the coming year.
Write a summary of the session, including the findings, solutions and responsibilities. And don’t forget to schedule the next year meeting.
