Paradigm Norton - 2016 Appraisal Form Booklet - Final RC Amendments

Dear Team
As you know, we have been reviewing our Appraisal process over recent months, and thanks to the
feedback from both ExCo and The Staff Council, we now have what we hope will be a really useful
new process.
The following will hopefully answer any questions that you may have about the timescales and your
responsibilities. If you are still unsure or have any questions, please contact me in the first instance
and I will try to help you.
What do I need to do?
Preparation is key! You should arrange your Appraisal Review Meeting with your Team
Member/Line Manager at a mutually convenient time, but allowing at least two weeks for you both to
prepare for this meeting by completing this form in advance. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss
what you have both written and agree any objectives or training needs for the future.
As Team Member you should initially complete this Appraisal Form through OMNIA by selecting
‘Appraisal Centre’ from the home page, and opening and editing the document from ‘My Appraisal
Document’. This will ensure a copy of all changes is retained. Once this is complete, you should
change the status by clicking the edit button to ‘Staff Member Completed’ and notify your Line
Manager that this is done at least a week before your agreed Appraisal Review Meeting. Your Line
Manager will do the same and follow the stages to completion.
What are the timescales?
Please arrange your Appraisal Review Meeting with your Team Member/Line Manager as soon as
possible - please try not defer this until to September, especially if you have a number of Appraisals to
carry out. All appraisals should be completed by 31 st October.
Thank you very much.
