Performance and development review scheme
We recognise that an essential part of enabling employees to achieve their full potential is monitoring their performance against agreed objectives that support and aid their development. For this reason, we have a Performance and Development Review (PDR) process in place to support your progression. The review process provides a formal, annual review for all employees, and will set you mutually agreed, achievable objectives that guide and balance your contribution. It will help to identify your development needs, and where appropriate will determine the resources you require to achieve your objectives.
