Option 1: The Standard One To One Appraisal Conversation

There are two types of standard template for option 1. One for people managers at all levels, and one for non-managers – i.e. where you have no line management responsibility.  You should choose to use the standard One to One Appraisal approach whenever possible and especially when:

  • You are a smaller team or department
  • You have multiple Appraisers available
  • If you are a People Manager
  • If you are a Preceptor or if you are in a specialist role where objectives need to be specific to you
