Option 2: The Large Department Appraisal Approach
This option will apply to you:
- If your team or department has more than 20 colleagues
- You have a lower number of Appraisers available
- Shared department level objectives are suitable to use
The benefit of this approach is to manage high volume as single appraisers can use time in existing meetings to fast track a larger group of colleagues into shared goals that are a priority for the department. To help, there are standard department level objectives to choose from should you wish (see below).
This group discussion is followed up with a shorter one to one conversation with individual colleagues to discuss wellbeing and to help them to feel valued.
Before deciding to proceed with 'The Large Department Appraisal Approach', please refer to this guidance to review the guiding principles and to check if your team/area meets the required criteria.
*Please also remember that BOTH parts of the the appraisal conversations MUST happen before the appraisal can be recorded on ESR as fully complete*
