The mission of The University of Western Australia is to advance, transmit and sustain knowledge and understanding through the conduct of teaching, research and scholarship at the highest international standards, for the benefit of the international and national community, as well as the state of Western Australia.
To support this mission the University’s key priority is to recruit, develop and retain staff of the highest quality, and to provide a working environment that enables staff to optimise their contribution to the University. Performance management is an important strategy to achieve this. The Professional Development Review (PDR) process is designed both to help UWA staff achieve their personal and professional goals and to promote the University’s mission and goals.
All staff of the University are involved in some form of performance review and development. Senior staff (Vice-Chancellor, Executive, Deans, Heads of School and Directors) develop explicit goals relevant to their roles against which their performance is assessed annually. Their review process often includes feedback from their peers and staff.
This website provides an outline of the PDR process, and the responsibilities of reviewers and reviewees.
