Achievement and Development Reviews (formerly Appraisals)
Everything that you need to prepare for Achievement and Development Reviews.
After a comprehensive evaluation of the annual staff appraisal process, the new Achievement and Development Reviews have been developed in collaboration with a range of stakeholders from across our University community. The new process aims to bring consistency and clarity to how staff are being reviewed and supported during their time at Sussex.
Key Points
- Everyone who works at Sussex should have an annual Achievement and Development Review (ADR) and use the relevant ADR form to record agreed objectives and actions. The form is intended to be a live document that is reviewed throughout the year.
- An ADR conversation should be followed up throughout the year, ideally 3-4 times, to check in on progress and development, and to ensure that support needs are being met.
- All ADR conversations should include a review of the past, looking ahead to the future, and a discussion around development, wellbeing and EDI considerations.
- It is assumed that the vast majority of the University Leadership Team will use the Professional Services ADR Form due to the nature of their roles, however Academic ADR Forms are available too.
