This online session is designed for anyone acting as an appraiser in the ADC process this year. Underpinned by our university’s Open Conversation Framework, this session will help managers to consider the conversation skills required to facilitate an effective ADC. This session will also introduce our university’s ambition to become a ‘learning organisation’, and what this means to support the professional development of your teams. 

 
The session will cover: 

• The purpose of an ADC
• Your role in the ADC and the role of your appraisee
• How to cultivate psychological safety and facilitate the ADC as an Open Conversation
• Key principles of ADCs: Setting goals, giving feedback and recognising achievements
• How to adapt your approach 
• How to access further support and resources
