Appraisal

Appraisal at the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ

The appraisal cycle normally runs from 1 May to 30 September.  This means all appraisal meetings are to be completed and written up on Horizon Talent (career and performance) by 30 September.

What is Appraisal at the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ?

Appraisal at the Çï¿ûÊÓƵ enables the effective alignment of individual contribution with the achievement of organisational objectives.  All staff are also expected to engage with delivering common objectives aligned to the university strategy.   Used effectively, appraisal provides advantages to both the appraisee and the appraiser through:

  • reviewing performance and achievements over the past year against agreed objectives and standards;
  • agreeing work plans for the year ahead, including appropriate objectives and standards;
  • reviewing personal and professional development outcomes and future needs.

Staff on probation do not have an appraisal, so won't have an appraisal form within the Horizon Talent system this year.
