• the benefits of the Staff Appraisal and Career Development Scheme

• setting objectives beyond the meeting.

Monthly Information Sessions

Through the Career Development and Staff Appraisal Scheme, the University aims to help all members of staff develop their full potential, enhance their sense of personal fulfilment at work and their ability to take advantage of opportunities to develop their career.

The Staff Training and Development Unit offers information sessions on the Appraisal process for Appraisers and Appraisees on a monthly basis. If you would like to attend one of the above sessions, or require any further information regarding Appraisal, please contact your HR Adviser.
