Staff development options

As a staff member, the starting point for your capability development is the ongoing process of self-reflection and seeking feedback, including regular conversations about your work with your supervisor.

This ongoing process is supported by the annual performance appraisal:

• Recognition and Development process (including performance appraisal) for professional staff 
• Appraisal process for academic staff
