personal development review (pdr)

DPAG has a Personal Development Review (PDR) process in place to provide staff with the opportunity to review their role and responsibilities, gain feedback, identify objectives and priorities for the year and consider any support needed to achieve them.  The University has some useful resources to help you to get the most out of your PDR and DPAG has produced a leaflet to support you through the process.
