Behaviour framework

Ourbehaviour framework is a key part of our performance development Review (PDR)and supports how we deliver our goals through the behaviours we demonstrate.


Our values

We have 4 valuesthat describe who we are and what we stand for at Derbyshire County Council.

  • collaborative  - we listen and engage to deliver shared goals
  • innovative - we are curious, embrace change and continuously improve
  • empowered - we support, trust and value each other
  • accountable - we hold ourselves and others to account

These 8 behaviours are the ways in which wedemonstrate our values. The framework sets out what we expect in terms of howwe go about our work, while our goals describe what we do.

Our 8 behaviours are:

  1. communicate and influence
  2. collaborate and partner
  3. change and Improve
  4. make effective decisions
  5. develop  ourselves
  6. develop our teams
  7. see the bigger picture
  8. customer and outcome focused

We have 2 frameworks to support grade 14+senior leaders and grade 13 and below leaders. Each behaviour has guidanceindicators for ‘below’, ‘meets’ and ‘exceeds’ expectations, to supportperformance management and development conversations.

A behaviour framework aligned to non-linemanager PDR users is currently being developed.

For further resources and support access the SharePointPDR Hub.

Some individuals are members of professionalbodies and therefore have professional competencies they must adhere to. Inmany cases, they must demonstrate they meet the requirements annually.

Professional competency frameworks are aboutdemonstrating technical competence, whereas the behaviour framework focuses onour behaviours. Use elements of both, where appropriate, when completing your PDR.
