Performance Reviews and Appraisals

<p>Software comes in a variety of guises - application software, firmware, middleware, system software. Increasingly, however, it doesn't necessarily present that way, especially as the boundaries between software, data and source code are becoming more and more blurred. And as software becomes more complex and more difficult to disentangle, so it becomes harder to manage and to value. But as it becomes more integral to every aspect of a business, so it is ever more important to keep on top of the technical, legal and commercial issues that arise, issues such as:</p><p>To address these issues, organisations need a process for evaluating their current situation from all perspectives and for identifying the key actions they need to take to ensure holistic management of their software. This very practical programme will help set your organisation on the right path.</p><p>Note: this is an indicative agenda, to be used as a starting point for a conversation between client and consultant, depending on the organisation's specific situation and requirements.</p>This programme is designed to give you a deeper understanding of:<ul><li>The technical, legal and commercial risks associated with software development, procurement, use and commercial exploitation</li><li>The most appropriate processes and responsibilities for managing those risks</li></ul><section>

Learning Disability

It is estimated that more than 1.2 million people in the UK are living with a learning disability. Healthcare and social care workers must have an adequate understanding of the needs of people with learning disabilities. It is also essential that they listen to the needs, hopes and aspirations of those living with learning disabilities, their careers, friends, and families.

An improved knowledge, together with current guidance and best practice recommendations help to improve the care provided to people who have learning disabilities.

Team Identity Day

<h2>Managing Across Generations</h2><p>Millennials make up the largest percentage of the workforce, posing challenges to long-standing structures, working practices and management styles. With this change there have been shifts in the way organisations need to bring generations together, adapt the working environment, and manage a diverse population.</p><p>This practical session focusses not just on millennials, but on the traits and characteristics of each of the generations found in the workplace, and the differences between them. Exploring preferences and behaviours through practical case study discussions, participants will work to understand and respect generational differences and commonalities, adapt their style to avoid a 'one size fits all' approach, and turn negative stereotypes into positive working relationships.</p><p>Particular attention is paid to the impact on teamwork, communication, motivation, performance, collaboration and reward.</p><section>

NEW RADIATORS
We use EN442 standard to enable you to customise the defined MWT (°c) and the results will highlight if the radiator will heat the room for a given internal design temperature. We like to promote the need to design low temperature systems!
Add multiple designers to your account
You can now add extra dashboard users to complete heat loss and heating design reports on your Heat Engineer Software account.
DHW (DOMESTIC HOT WATER)
This will calculate the projected energy demand and running costs for DHW and domestic cylinder sizing.
EMITTERS AND PERFORMANCE
This page is primarily used for heat pump designs. Once you specify the flow temperature for each room the SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance) values will be shown, and the system will show if radiators are over or undersized.
CURRENT RADIATORS
Use the app on site to enter the current radiators and our system will display the output values for different flow temperatures.
FUEL COMPARISON
Multiple fuels to compare against, you can adjust the price per unit and CO2 factor (kg/kWh). Present these running costs to your clients.
PHOTOS AND NOTES
Photos and notes which you or your surveyors have taken will be shown when you open the report from your dashboard. You may also upload and download photos from your PC / laptop too.
