PDR system is now live
The Performance Development Review (PDR) system is now open for annual reviews from today (26 July) until 22 October 2021.
Line managers and staff will have an opportunity to set new objectives, following on from the previous year's objectives, which were set in 2020. They can also confirm that previous objectives have now been met, as well as set professional development targets.
The annual review process will be open until 5pm on Friday 22 October.
The PDR system offers a clear focus on aligning individual objectives to the overall strategic goals of the university, faculty and department, in addition to harnessing personal development and career growth. The PDR clarifies expectations between the Reviewer and the Employee. It is an opportunity both to reflect upon last year’s performance, achievements and personal development while looking forward for the next 12 months.
When you log into the PDR system, you can find your own PDR under ‘My PDR’ or your direct reports PDRs under ‘My Team PDR’. Click on the magnifying glass and this will take you through to the PDR.
By assessing the previous year’s performance, successes can be recorded and appropriate role related development needs and opportunities identified. It provides a platform for staff to engage and understand how their role fits with the strategic plan by agreeing SMART objectives.
Line managers will need to 'Create new staff review' in order to trigger the new review.
