Feedback

Speak to colleagues who have worked closely with the reviewee during the review period (eg. project manager, team leader, Chair of Board of Studies). Ask for feedback on the individual's achievements as well as their approach to work, ie. how they have worked.

This is especially important if you do not line manage or work closely with the reviewee yourself. You must gather examples and evidence to support discussions in the meeting.

Feedback could be sought verbally or by email. Questions you might ask are:

• What work have you been involved in with this person over the past year?
• What does this person do which is great?
• What could this person do to be even better?
• What are your suggestions or recommendations for future developments?

You should also encourage the reviewee to gather feedback as part of their PDR preparation. This request should be included in the reviewee's meeting invite.
