Performance & Development Review (P&DR)

Performance & Development Review (P&DR) meetings are the single most important way in which the University ensures that each and every individual is able to perform to the best of their abilities and fulfil their professional aims and ambitions.

P&DR are offered to all staff annually. You are responsible for ensuring the review is effective by preparing for the review and contributing to the meeting.

Every review meeting will look at development needs, career/job aspirations and scope for advancement. 

All managers and senior reviewers are trained in the use of P&DR to make it a valuable use of time.

Online system

An online system is used to manage the process. To prepare for your P&DR you will need to download the review form. The user guide explains how to do this:

• log into the on-line system
• P&DR IT User guide 

Staff without access to a PC will still be able to complete all documentation in a paper format.

There are a number of administrators within the DSE to support with the Online System. Please email dse@manchester.ac.uk to request changes in the system.
