Overview
Your open review will contain a number of objectives. Objectives are used to facilitate staff professional development by identifying realistic targets for the staff member to achieve during the review period.
A review may include standard objectives that all staff performing the same job role will be expected to achieve together with specific objectives for the individual identified in discussion between the member of staff and their line manager when the review was started.
