Starting an annual review is done by the line manager. For more detailed information about our approach to annual reviews, and information for you as the line manager - please read this article.
Firstly, log in to the staff database and you should see a blue, 'Start New Annual Review' button on the dashboard.
You will then be asked for the date and location of the review, and who the review is for. This drop down should list all your reportees.
You will also be asked to select the names of up to six people to provide peer feedback. The people chosen should be discussed in advance with the reportee. You will have to pick an option in each of the 6 boxes but can select None if not requesting all six.
You will also need to write a 'theme' or area for the feedback to be focussed on (again this should be discussed and agreed in advance with the reportee).
There is also the option for requesting up to two sets of external feedback. For this, add the email address(es) into the appropriate boxes. In this case, if not requesting external feedback, just leave the box(es) empty. If external feedback is being sough please ensure this has been discussed with the individual who it is being requested from prior to the request being made

The people named and selected will receive an email with a link to the feedback form and be told the deadline for feedback.
Having named the people and picked a deadline, click on 'Start Review Form' to begin the process.
