The PDR approach will establish processes to promote clear and equitable practices for how SUT manages and rewards its people.

People will have clarity of performance expectations and in 2009 the opportunity to be recognised and rewarded for outstanding contributions through a performance bonus.

Staff’s learning and development becomes an even greater focus – fostering growth in our current and future roles.

An increased opportunity to forge stronger, more effective relationships with Managers - focussing on individuals’ needs and ambitions.

Greater understanding of individual contribution to SUT.

Training and supporting communications will ensure staff are prepared to participate in the new approach.
