Appraisals at LUHFT
Here at LUHFT, we want to ensure that ALL colleagues experience a quality, meaningful and valuable appraisal conversation. The appraisals options have been designed to help ALL colleagues to feel valued, supported and clear on goals and contribution.
There are now 3 different options and processes for Appraisers to choose from when deciding how to deliver the best possible appraisal experience for colleagues within your team or department.
Depending on the structure within your team or the varying roles that colleagues do, by using one of the options below, you will now be able to deliver the appraisal that fits best.
*Please note, these new appraisal options do not apply to Medics/Doctors and Dentists who currently use the L2P system for their appraisal and revalidation. The current process and method for appraisal for these colleagues will remain unchanged*
