We felt it had been created by a development team who listened to universities and really understood the complexity and nuance of academia.

Great system. I really like the format and content of the PDR which is quite focused and anchored to deliver some real benefit to the team and University.

It reduces bureaucracy and paper and encourages a continual conversation between appraiser and appraisee.

It produces up-to-the-minute information which allows us to react in a timely fashion with significant interventions.
