Over the last six months, an Education, Research and Enterprise (ERE) staff working group, supported by development and HR specialists, have been redesigning the approach to Appraisal.
Commissioned by UEG as part of the Academic Reward project, the new approach signals a desire for a cultural shift, emphasising the need to look forward and enable the development of skills, knowledge and behaviours that will enhance the appraisee’s contribution, and where appropriate support their readiness for promotion.
The success of the new approach will rely heavily on the quality of the individual appraisal discussions taking place and therefore the skill of appraisers to listen and lead a supportive conversation in which both parties feel able to be open and honest.
So important are these skills, that UEG have decided to mandate a half day skills workshop for all ERE appraisers.

Workshops are filling fast, so please book now. Deadline for bookings is 30 September.
Professional Services and Technical staff are asked not to book onto these sessions, as tailored workshops for this grouping of staff are currently being planned and will be advertised when available.
