The Performance Development & Review (PDR) process offers a consistent way to identify and assess your contribution to the achievement of the University's Strategic Plan.

It is a continuous process in which supervisors and staff work together towards agreed outcomes by:

2. discussing progress against performance and development goals
3. discussing achievements in work and development over the year.

During your first month, you should meet with your Supervisor about setting your first PDR plan.
