+   <title>Introduction</title>
+   <p>Notes from a meeting held on 2024-04-16 with Miranda Girdlestone
+(Meeting House Manager), taking the lead and Henry Thompson (Convenor, Meeting House
+Management Committee), taking (most of) these notes.  The section and
+sub-section titles which follow are taken verbatim from the <emph>Employment
+Review Conversation</emph> shared with Ken in advance of the meeting.</p>

+<title>Nature of the job</title>
+<p>Does your job description accurately reflect the nature of your
+duties?</p>
+<p>Not entirely, but not sure: I don’t need to think about it, the work
+just happens.</p>
+<p>What have you done in your role that has made you feel proud/been
+pleased with?</p>
+<p>Keeping up with what groups need/want and supporting them: it works
+nicely. Adding “Where are the toilets” signs and seeing that work.</p>
+<p>I have a good picture in my head of what the Meeting House should
+look like, I get satisfaction from keeping it so.</p>
+<p>[Miranda: You’ve done a good job at training Ellie]</p>
+<p>Training casual staff: it goes as well as they can handle</p>
+<p>Was there anything that felt less than successful when you attempted
+it? And what did you do to improve the situation?</p>
+<p>Getting my head around the booking system was hard. Worried as about
+to do something I may be breaking something that someone else is already
+working on.</p>
+<p>Aside from not being involved, not sure.</p>
+<p>Not done it often enough to be confident what happens when in the
+workflow. Information is in multiple places, computers <em>and</em>
+people’s heads.</p>
+<p>Putting things in the calendar is fine, but the Hallmaster/money
+dataflow is hazy. Worried that, for example, if someone asks to add AV,
+aside from just leaving a note for Majk, not sure what is needed to be
+sure it doesn’t get lost</p>
+<p>ACTION: MG and KL to meet to get a clear story about what KL should
+cover and how to do it</p>
+<p>What changes have you implemented and how do you think they went/were
+received?</p>
+<p>Moving the library chairs under the stairs when not in use, working
+well.</p>
+<p>‘Staff drawer’</p>
+<p>Designed, trialed and made work having refreshments just outside the
+Meeting Room.</p>
+<p>ACTION: MG Review cleaning sheet</p>
+</div>
+<div>
+<title>Obstacles and support</title>
+<p>What extra support would you like from me as your manager?</p>
+<p>Have you encountered any particular difficulties where you would have
+appreciated more support? Can you say why you didn’t ask for support at
+the time?</p>
+<p>Food Hygiene specifically, more generally what am I in charge of? Do
+local Friends know that. Some things are undefined, for instance who
+sets up tables…</p>
+<p>ACTION: MG, KL, James to coordinate [MG to give a short presentation
+to PM about this] [HST to gee up Elders to revisit the [live]
+Notices]</p>
+</div>
+<div>
+<title>Quaker Ethos</title>
+<p>Do you think the Quaker ethos is nurtured in your work and your
+workplace?</p>
+<p>Yes</p>
+</div>
+<div>
+<title>Working relationships</title>
+<p>How would you describe the relationships you have built with your
+colleagues and users of the building?</p>
+<p>Good with colleagues. On the same wavelength with Ellie.</p>
+<p>Some users give nice comments or a smile, occasionally things go
+wonky and people get stressed. People may have lost track of what they
+booked, or was booked for them. People feel relaxed, which can lead to
+them treating things more like home than somewhere they’ve hired. Mostly
+a good thing.</p>
+<p>How do you see your role within the team now and how would you like
+it to grow?</p>
+<p>Not keen on “getting hold of a pile of admin clutter in my head”
+[AVP] But it is part of my job, so if there were a way to make it more
+doable for me I would get on with it better</p>
+</div>
+<div>
+<title>Work environment</title>
+<p>What do you like or dislike about your work environment?</p>
+<p>Wrt to being open to the public, if it’s not a busy time, handling
+enquiries is good. If the timing is bad, it can be a challenge.</p>
+</div>
+<div>
+<p>——————HST steps away———–</p>
+<p>Do you have any suggestions for improving it?</p>
+<p>Management/ supervision (if applicable):</p>
+<p>How effective is your supervision of the staff for which you are
+responsible?</p>
+<p>Are any changes in approach desirable?</p>
+<p>Training and development needs:</p>
+<p>What training have you undergone during the year?</p>
+<p>Are there any training opportunities you would like to pursue? Or any
+skills you would like to develop?</p>
+<p>Overall:</p>
+<p>If you could change anything about your role or the way the team
+operates, what would it be?</p>
+<p>ACTIONS AGREED (including who and when)</p>
