answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2021 answer text <p>Performance at the Department for International Trade (DIT) is assessed against objectives that relate to corporate and leadership activities, aligned to DIT values and the grade of an individual. Both the delivery and behaviours – the ‘what’ and ‘how’ – are considered equally when assessing performance. Whilst export wins may be one of a range of factors taken into account when considering eligibility, these would not solely determine the eligibility for end of year bonus payments for staff involved in export support roles.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 14/09/2021 16:58:22 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
