The success of our people is vital to the effective operation of the University and we depend on all members of staff to contribute their best. Performance management and development is about working in a way that enables continuous performance improvement in line with the University’s direction, and at the same time increase staff innovation, job satisfaction and provide support to build the knowledge and skills of our people.
In line with the University’s Performance Development and Management Policy (HR-25.1) and Enterprise and Collective Agreements, PDM training is available to staff and supervisors responsible for conducting performance management.
Visit the Performance and Development website to explore the range of development opportunities on offer.
To support managers and staff conduct constructive and informed PDM conversations the University has developed a Performance Development and Management Framework and supporting good practice guides.
