Annual Staff Appraisal Scheme

The University would like your comments on how the current scheme is working and what, if any, changes you would like to see made.

A letter requesting your feedback and asking for comments is here:
Open letter to all staff requesting feedback  [2pgs, 38kb]

The University’s appraisal scheme aims to provide an opportunity:

  • To review your work over the last year and plan your activities for the coming year;
  • To discuss and agree your planned learning and development;
  • To discuss more generally your career and ambitions

The appraisal scheme is not linked to procedures for salary, probation or grading for which the University has separate arrangements. The appraisal record is not a promotion document, although any clear potential in terms of skill and experience ought to be noted.
