My Performance and Development Review

Your Performance and Development Review (PDR) discussion provides the opportunity to reflect on, review and evaluate your contribution in the previous 12 months. This will have been informed by the ongoing dialogue you have had throughout the year with your manager or reviewer.

It is also a time to plan for the next 12 months by setting objectives that are focused on your role and development.

An effective review discussion requires preparation and engagement from all parties. Where this works well staff feel energised, focused and valued.

A PDR does not preclude or replace the availability and use of other developmental conversations and tools found in the form of mentoring and coaching. Colleagues are encouraged to utilise these where appropriate.

The following document aims to guide you through the PDR process, identfying the key steps and how you can get the most out of your review.
