PRP tools, guidelines and tips
Steps to ensure a positive and constructive PRP experience:
- Employees should review the relevant guiding document (Performance review plan or Results and achievement plan [senior managers]) - before meeting with their supervisor. In particular, reflect on the discussion points that you will cover with your supervisor so you know how the conversation will flow.
- Where relevant, employees should add their own notes and comments in the spaces provided in the document regarding outcomes of previous goals, objectives or plans.
- The draft Plan should be shared with their supervisor prior to the meeting, along with any other supporting information (such as the Academic CV and Portfolio for academic employees).
- Take notes during the meeting to ensure you capture the key points of your conversation and agreements.
- Following the meeting, employees should update and finalise the Plan with these notes and their comments, then pass on to their supervisor.
- Supervisors review, add their own comments, sign and send back to the employee to sign the final version.
After the meeting:
- Ensure you, or the nominated person in your school/work unit, sends a copy of the completed and signed Plan to HR Services.
- Implement actions and agreements, especially in relation to any training and development activity.
- Regularly refer back to goals and feedback to ensure you are on track. Discuss challenges or issues as they arise during the year with your supervisor.
- Supervisors should also regularly check in with their employees and the team and keep goals and performance expectations top of mind.
- Acknowledge if there are changes in role, responsibilities or focus – adjust goals and expectations throughout the year if required.
