The new appraisal window opened on 1 June

The appraisal window is now open for all staff until 15 September 2023.

Appraisals are changing for all staff

Planning your appraisal(s)

The appraisal meeting must have taken place and the on-line appraisal form be fully completed by 15 September 2023. Arrange your appraisal meeting(s) now to allow time to prepare.

During the appraisal discussion 

  • Review your contribution for the last appraisal period. This will vary slightly depending on your Level:
    • for staff at Levels 1-3, complete your PPDR and document your progress for the past appraisal year. Note that this will be the last time you use the PPDR.
    • for staff at Levels 4-7, complete the online appraisal form ending 31 July 2023 and select one of the new contribution descriptors to summarise your overall contribution (see the following the conversation guidance for tips on recording your overall contribution descriptors and notes).
  • All staff should discuss their personal development, career aspirations, and agree objectives for the upcoming year and record these in the online appraisal form in MyHR/MyView for 1 August 2023-31 July 2024.

After the appraisal discussion

The second line reviewer process will vary slightly depending on your Level:

  • For staff at Levels 1-3, the completed PPDR should be sent to the second line reviewer as per the outgoing PPDR process.
  • For staff at Level’s 4-7, a “consistency check” will be carried out by the appraiser’s line manager, once the appraisal has been submitted. All “consistency checks” must be completed by 15 October.

Please note that MyHR (MyView) will be unavailable between 19 June 2023 and 27 June 2023 due to MyHR and the University’s employee and manager self-service for HR & payroll moving to the cloud. During this time the appraisal online form will not be accessible.

Appraisal conversations can still take place during the system closure period.
