Objectives and Raising Actions

Your open review will contain a series of objectives designed to support professional development. These objectives set realistic, measurable targets for you to achieve within the review period.

A review may include:

Standard objectives – applicable to all staff in the same role.
Individual objectives – tailored to you, agreed upon between you and your line manager at the start of the review.

Tracking and Reviewing Your Objectives

At the start of the review period, all objectives will have an initial status of In Progress. Towards the end of the review, your performance will be assessed, and each objective will be assigned one of the following final statuses: Met, Partially Met or Not Met.

From your Portfolio screen, select the Objectives tab. The number displayed next to the tab indicates how many objectives your review contains.

Task:

Navigate to your Portfolio page.
Click on the Objectives tab.
Hover over the icons to see their descriptions.
Click on an objective title to view more details.
