Performance and development review (PDR)
Our strategic plan, Building Excellence, recognises that an essential part of enabling employees to achieve their full potential is monitoring their performance against agreed objectives that support and aid their development.
Following your successful probation, you will have annual Performance and Development Reviews (PDRs). Guidance about this process can be found on the PDR website. PDRs give you and your manager (or other experienced colleague, in larger schools and professional services) an opportunity to discuss, on a one to one basis, how you are progressing. It enables you to take a holistic view of your work content, loads and volumes, to look back on what you have achieved during the past year and agree realistic objectives and development plans for the forthcoming year. The intention is to give you an opportunity to build on your strengths, identify potential areas for improvement and enable you to perform at your best while working at Loughborough, whatever your role.
Display screen equipment (DSE) user
It is important that members of staff who use a computer for their role complete an online self-assessment to help avoid or reduce health problems arising from computer use.
Each school and professional service have at least one DSE assessor who will contact you with more information on this online training and self-assessment.
Welcome to Loughborough
As a new member of staff you will be formally welcomed to the University on our "Welcome to Loughborough" event. You will be automatically assigned a date to attend the event where you will learn about the vision of Loughborough University and the way we work here.
