The new appraisal process will apply to staff at all levels.

A reminder of what is changing:

• All staff will use the online form in MyHR. An improved, printable version of the appraisal form for staff with limited computer access will be available
• The requirement to assess each objective has been removed. Instead, four new 鈥榙escriptive phrases鈥� called contribution descriptors have been created.听 These will be used to provide an overall assessment of an individual鈥檚 contribution.
• A 鈥渃onsistency check鈥�, will be carried out by the appraiser’s line manager (known as the second line reviewer) to ensure fairness and consistency, replacing the old moderation process. There is no indicative distribution curve.
