The End of Year performance review process and the Mid-Year review for Education and Skills will open on Monday 22nd April.
The end of year process provides the opportunity for colleagues to look back on their performance in the past year, set objectives for 2024/25, and discuss any professional development and career aspirations.
The performance review window will be open from Monday 22nd April to Friday 21st June. Colleagues will have until Friday 17th May 2024, to complete and submit their self-assessment. This will ensure that managers have sufficient time to review the self-assessment, meet with you and submit the manager review.
What should colleagues do?:
- Book your End of Year/Mid-Year (GC Ed and Skills only) review meeting with your manager as soon as possible.
- Complete and submit your self-assessment at least 2 working days prior to the performance review meeting and/or by the 17th May at the latest. You can use this 16-box grid as a tool to rate how you have performed against your objectives and how your behaviours are aligned with GC values. Reflect on what your career aspirations are (short and long term), and what development needs you may have.
- Attend the performance review meeting.
- Review your End of Year or Mid-Year review after it has been submitted by your line manager.
