Refresher Guidance and Resources
The resources below have been put together to introduce experienced reviewers to new developments in the PDR process at Warwick and provide useful refresher information on key elements.
PDR gives reviewers the opportunity to:
- Spend time with individuals to discuss their roles, development, achievements and contributions
- Recognise achievements, contributions and review the impact of development through constructive conversations
- Prioritise and plan development needs for the individual and the department
- Ensure that their teams and reports understand agreed goals and aspirations that collectively contribute to the aims of the department and the wider University
- Hear feedback and generate suggestions for enhancing the work of the individual, team or the department
