Professional Services staff appraisals

Please find below links to the new appraisal form and guidance for Professional Services.  Following on from last year's pilot and feedback from staff, we have refined the form and improved guidance to give staff and managers greater clarity about how to complete the form.

Appraisals for Professional Services staff should be completed by the end of September.

To support the new appraisal form, we are running webinars for appraisers and appraisees - please see the links on the right to book a place.
