The Department for Transport has sacked 0.4% of poorly performing staff in the last half decade. Louise Haigh was just unlucky…
Tory Shadow Minister for Policy Renewal and Development Neil O’Brien asked the DfT how many performance reviews have resulted in an unsatisfactory rating across the department and its agencies in the last five years and how many staff were sacked as a result. To begin with unsatisfactory performances are on the up:
- 2024/25: 820
- 2023/24: 640
- 2022/23: 665
- 2021/22: 332
- 2020/21: 322
