Do you know how your PDR will work this year?

April 15, 2021

The PDR process will be different this year. This has been an unprecedented year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result the Trust has carefully considered its approach to the personal development review (PDR) process to ensure that it is both meaningful and conducted in a way which is practical.

We know that many colleagues have been re-deployed into other areas or taken on other duties, and that they may not have been able to focus on the objectives or personal development discussed in their PDR last year. For these reasons, for this year, it has been decided to change the focus from traditional scoring against objectives, to the development of a personalised discussion and plan for each individual alongside the timescales for completion being increased: April to July 2021.

The process for 2021 will consist of the following:

  • Part 1 – personalised discussion and plan
  • Part 2 – objectives for the year ahead, future aspirations and development plan

The PDR form has been amended to reflect this and the form for 2021 can be found by clicking here.
