Staff Governance is defined as:
“a system of corporate accountability for the fair and effective management of all staff”
Staff Governance can be measured through assurance that the Staff Governance Standard commitments are being met, and this is assessed locally via the Staff Governance Committee of each Board.
The Staff Governance Standard sets out what each NHSScotland employer must achieve in order to continuously improve in relation to the fair and effective management of staff. Click on the links for more information.
The Staff Governance Committee (SGC) is a standing committee of each NHS Board which, together with the Clinical Governance Committee and Audit Committee, forms the full governance framework for NHS Boards.
