Dear All,<br>
<br>
The Accountability and Development Review cycle is underway for
2014, with a different set of dates from previous years (more
details in my email of 27/1/14). The process needs to be complete
for all staff by end of June and I'd like people to make as much
progress as possible in May to ensure completion in June. Details of
reviewers will be coming round very shortly - if you wish to discuss
the allocation please let me know.<br>
<br>
The review period is from Jan 2013 to the "initial months of 2014" -
I suggest 1/1/13 to 30/4/14<br>
<br>
Please take some time on the objectives for the coming year - making
them clear, with numbers/dates where possible and measurable. They
do not need long text explanations. <br>
<br>
I attach material from Faculty of Science presentations, collecting
together slides giving examples of objectives and development
activities for different staff categories (Administrative,
Technical, IT, Academic). Research Staff seem to have been missed
but hopefully the other categories give some useful guidance. The
acronym for objectives is "smart" - specific, measurable,
achievable, relevant and timely. Note that the training sessions
encouraged some ambition and boldness - it can be better to try and
miss an ambitious (but achievable) objective than to succeed with an
under-stated one.<br>

<br>
Thanks in advance for your assistance in completing these reviews.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
