Is the new process linked to training and development?
Yes, this is a very important part of the new process. Reviewees are encouraged to identify their own development needs and to discuss how best to address them. Where needs have been identified, a development plan will be proposed by the Reviewer and considered for authorisation by the Manager. Because the process is electronic and the PDR record can be accessed by the Reviewee, it will be easy to monitor the progress of development plans. The PDR module is linked to the Training module within the HR system and, if required, nominations for training courses can be made within the Personal Learning and Development Plan (PLDP) section of the PDR.
