This enhanced PDR form allows you and your manager to discuss your career and development aspirations in greater detail and provides tools to assist this discussion. If you or your manager feel that an enhanced PDR discussion would be of benefit the following guidance and forms can be used to assist you.
Enhanced PDR Managers Guidance
Enhanced PDR Post Meeting Form
Before you have your Performance Development Review meeting your manager will agree a suitable date, time and place for the meeting. They may ask you to complete a PDR preparation form to either send to them in advance or bring with you to your meeting. Setting out the information on the preparation form will help you to prepare for your discussion.
A Post Meeting Form will be completed following the meeting to ensure the main points of the discussion are captured, along with any learning needs.
How often will I have a PDR?
A Performance and Development Review meeting will be held between you and your manager once a year and must be completed by the end of March. You will also have a half yearly review (around the Autumn) as well as regular one to ones.
What happens after my PDR?
Agreed objectives should be set out and taken forward by you. Progress of these can be discussed with your manager through your one to one meetings and reviewed at your 6 month PDR Review meeting. Any agreed e-learning, and/or other identified development needs that do not have a cost (i.e. coaching/mentoring etc.) identified through the PDR discussion and recorded on the Development Summary section of the form, can be booked by you through the relevant Learning and Development pages of MyHR on Molly.
Paid development (i.e. Surrey Learn courses) will be reviewed as part of an organisation wide learning needs analysis early in the new financial year. Following review your manager will let you know if your learning is agreed and if so how it can be booked.
What happens to my PDR form?
You and your manager keep a copy of the completed PDR from for reference and review over the year. Your manager records your PDR discussion date on your iTrent record and attaches a copy of the completed PDR form.
PDR information for each team, alongside other performance data, will be discussed at an annual planning meeting with each Executive Head. This is usually in the Summer months to aid with service planning that starts in the autumn of each year.
Can I feedback on the PDR process?
A survey will be provided to you following completion of the PDR to gain feedback about the forms content. If however you have any immediate thoughts or suggestions that you feel would help to further improve the PDR process please send these to HR
