One to one and staff review and development (SRD) meetings are a crucial aspect of the organisations approach to performance management and key to the way in which we manage our people.

This workshop is aimed at the skills needed to facilitate great meetings, but more importantly, explains the positive benefits in behaviour and motivation that can be achieved through these discussions.

It can however be daunting and the course is intended to help you understand the context of SRD and build confidence in managing the process.

SRD is fundamentally a positive relationship building event between the manager and staff member. The skills and techniques that make this possible will be reviewed during this course.

Outline Content:

• Understanding SRD and its role in performance management • Linking to your one to ones • Setting good SMART objectives • Understanding the system in the University • Structuring the SRD • What makes a successful meeting? • Giving feedback & discussing performance • Dealing with challenges and unwilling people • Closing the SRD on a high • Personal actions

The Staff Review & Development (SRD) scheme applies to all University staff and its purpose is to enhance work effectiveness and facilitate career development. Employees are invited to a review meeting to reflect on job performance, capabilities and future potential. The aim of the meeting is to discuss constructively and positively ways in which work could be developed and any difficulties/obstacles to progress removed. The discussion results in an agreed action plan and a personal development plan setting out training and development needs.

The Institute operates an annual cycle of SRD activity and the cycle for the 2018-19 annual roll-out of SRDs is due to start from late February 2020 with the Director, James Gazzard setting objectives for the coming year to the Senior Leadership team. The cascade from Senior Leadership team will commence from March 2020 onwards with all SRDs having been completed by the end of May 2020.
