2. Strategic Framework
The NHS Reform (Scotland) Act 2004 requires NHSScotland employers to deliver the key strategic agenda of ensuring the fair and effective management of staff. A number of strategic workforce policies, initiatives and agreements are in place, including those on best employment practice and policy, workforce development and planning and benefits realisation. Implementation of these policies, initiatives and agreements will support NHSScotland employers to be able to meet the requirements of the Staff Governance Standard and ensure the modernisation of the workforce through pay, partnership and employment practice.
The process for implementing and monitoring staff governance is illustrated in the diagram below.
