Personal development review process (PDR) for 2022

April 13, 2022

As the COVID-19 pandemic has continued, the Trust has again carefully considered its approach to the Personal Development Review Process (PDR) to ensure that it is both meaningful and conducted in a way which is practical, given ongoing constraints on capacity. For these reasons, for this year, it has been decided to extend the process introduced last year where the focus was changed from traditional scoring against objectives, to the development of a personalised discussion and plan for each individual.

The process for 2022 consists of the following:

• Part 1 – Personalised discussion and plan
• Part 2 – Review of previous year’s work objectives, work objectives for 2022/2023, development aspirations, personal development plan

Some pre-set work objectives are included in the form and these should be customised for your own job role.  The PDR form has been amended to reflect this and the form for 2022 can be found by clicking here.

Note: All colleagues need to have had their PDR with the date(s), aspirations and objectives entered into the form on Connect by the end of July 2022.  This form can be found via the link on the Connect home page: ‘Record Completed PDR’
