Staff Governance
• staff are central to achieving the aims of NHSScotland and
good people management is vital
• “staff governance focuses on how NHSScotland staff are
managed, and feel they are managed, by one of Scotland’s
largest employers” (SEHD, 2007)
• staff governance is a system of corporate accountability for
the fair and effective management of all staff and is key to the
effective and efficient delivery of services
