2023/24 Semester 1&2 courses: This half-day (in-person) course is delivered to align with performance review cycles for the majority of university departments.
The session will work chronologically through the SDPR process, explaining the aims of the different steps, and discuss some case studies that illustrate the kinds of issues and conversations that may arise. It emphasises:
- giving balanced, constructive feedback
- setting goals in the context of the department, the University and the staff member’s career
- listening and questioning
- planning for the review meeting; setting and managing the agenda
- agreeing responsibility for future actions, so that the process has long-term momentum
