​​The Jersey Appointments Commission was established by the States of Jersey under the Employment of States of Jersey Employees (Jersey) Law 2005 and annually reports to the States of Jersey on the recruitment of States employees, as well as appointees to States-supported or related bodies.

The commission has been in existence since 2002 and has a Chairman and 4 other Commissioners.

The key points of the annual report:

• developing plans and budgets and managing communication - succession planning for the States to be able to ‘grow its own’
• the need to recognise the challenges involved in developing senior managers from within
• the issue of recruiting ‘off-Island’
• performance management: is there a willingness and the freedom to tackle under-performance?
• performance appraisal and development and effective mechanisms to terminate employment
• strategy to ‘share’ roles across Guernsey and Jersey
