Managing and Improving Performance

There are currently 11 courses available

The Personal Development and Performance Review (PDPR)

The Personal Development and Performance Review (PDPR) is a structured process for setting objectives, reviewing progress, and identifying development needs, while aligning individual contributions with the University’s values and goals. It provides staff with an opportunity to reflect on their achievements, discuss performance and career aspirations, and identify areas for improvement. The PDPR also supports open dialogue and the creation of clear, actionable development plans for the coming year, promoting both professional growth and organisational success.

 

How does the online PDPR process and system work?

This video provides a step-by-step guide to the PDPR process, demonstrating how people managers can easily set up a new PDPR, although the system is intuitive and user-friendly.  

People managers can access their team's PDPRs through iTrent, while staff members can access their own PDPRs via MyHR.

If you wish to know more detail, further information can be found on the MyHR webpage, the MyHR userguide or People Manager (iTrent) userguide.

Values, Behaviours and Culture

Every organisation has its own unique culture, and at our University, we succeed because of our people. Our culture is shaped by our core values, which guide us in our daily work.

We are currently engaging with all staff across the University to integrate our new 2030 Values cross all areas of University life. Check out the Engagement Hub for information on what's been happening so far.  as we move forward with "Taking Action Together".

Each value is supported by specific behaviours, offering a shared understanding of what it means to be part of our University community. We will soon have a brand new website to visit, where you'll find videos featuring our Vice-Chancellor and other University staff, sharing what these values mean to them and how they and their teams incorporate them into their work.

It outlines the core competencies and behaviours for all managers, current and future. Each competency includes a brief description that every manager can use to guide them, and clearly outlines what staff can expect from their leaders and managers. To find out more, please watch this short introductory video.
