A flexible performance appraisal tool that makes it easy for any school to introduce and maintain best practice in career growth
School reports aren’t just for the students. Regular staff appraisals against individual personal development plans bring multiple benefits even to elite schools. Performance Appraisals is an optional module which bolts on to HR Pro to help you assess, motivate and engage with all school employees.
Lift staff engagement and accelerate personal, professional and pastoral development
In such a strictly timetabled environment as a school, it can be easy for teachers to stagnate, and just as easy to take skilled staff for granted. Using disparate digital and print assessments and appraisals is slow and time-consuming for everybody involved. With staff members’ focus inevitably on their primary responsibilities, personal development plans become a moment in time, rather than a guide for the year ahead.
The HR Pro Performance Appraisal module makes it easy to design, distribute and administer personal development plans and capture performance- and training-related information. Because everything is served through the self-service portal, HR and department heads can schedule notifications and reminders for staff. With personal and professional development goals stored on each staff member’s personal dashboard, keeping those objectives front of mind becomes instinctive.
The end result? Happier, more motivated, more engaged teachers and staff. Less time on tedious admin and chasing for HR people. An easier time for heads of departments and senior staff. And students who reap the benefits of all those improvements.
Features overview
Digitise any form you can think of (for example, screening and safety forms, holiday request forms, training request forms, return to work forms, appraisals), set a full approval process chain and have staff complete them through the self-service dashboard
Personal development plans aren’t just for the corporate world. PDPs help teachers feel valued and recognised for the work they do and the training they undergo. More structured developmental contact encourages greater emotional investment.
Because heads of department can schedule catch-ups at customisable intervals and set reminders, managing more junior staff becomes easier.
Self-assessment data can even be converted for visual representation, giving HR and department heads at-a-glance insights which help lead conversations around performance and objectives.
