Academic Development Conversations (PDR, Promotions and 1:1s)
| Description | Theme: Leadership and management.
Category: People Management.
Course overview: A great PDR is all to do with the quality of the conversation, which is the focus of this workshop. We will explore the purpose of PDRs, examine your role as a reviewer, and provide an introduction to key skills as enablers for effective developmental conversations, such as:. - Coaching techniques. - Goal/objective setting. - Giving and receiving feedback. - Providing career guidance to education and research staff at all stages of their career. It also considers the role of the PDR within the wider performance management and promotion contexts. Local processes and practices vary across Departments and Faculties. We therefore ask you to seek clarification of these processes at a local level (Via Line Manager or Head of department). This course is mandatory for all staff who will conduct PDRs and is most effective if completed a few months before PDRs are planned.
