Your annual appraisal – called ‘My Performance & Wellbeing Conversation’ – is an opportunity to build on discussions you have had throughout the year with your line manager to discuss your wellbeing, how you’re feeling, how your work life balance is, any support you require and to review your performance against the previous year’s objectives.

You will identify and discuss your successes and achievements and set new objectives. Through this review, you will identify any support, training or development you would benefit from in order to deliver your work objectives and achieve your goals.

After your conversation has been completed, you and your line manager will be emailed a copy. Once you receive the email, you may wish to also save a copy in your personal drive.

Please be aware that it is your responsibility, and that of your line manager, to keep a copy of your conversation as this document should be referred to throughout the year to ensure you are working to targets/objectives set. 

Copies of your conversations are not kept centrally by HR, however completion dates are recorded on ESR by The Organisation Development Team.

*Whilst we do not anticipate any issue with the submission of your part of the conversation, but due to infrequent technical difficulties we suggest that you copy and paste the content of your added information and save this. Therefore, you will not lose all of your hard work before you receive the confirmation email with the full copy of your PWBC conversation enclosed.

Process for Line Managers

  1. Once your team member has completed their part of the online form, the questions and answers will be emailed to you (please check your spam folder as well)
  2. You can then go to this page and enter the password provided to complete your section. A copy of this will be sent to your team member and also to you by email
  3. Once you have completed your part, the PWBC team will be sent a notification with the name, ESR number, and date of completion so they can record the conversation as complete on ESR
  4. It is your responsibility, and that of your team member, to keep a copy of the conversation as this document should be referred to throughout the year to ensure targets/objectives set are being worked towards.

Copies of conversations are not kept centrally by HR but completion dates are recorded on ESR.

Please use the link below all the questions (at the bottom of the page)

to save your answers when complete.

Your answers will be sent by email to you for your reference, and also to your line manager so they can prepare for the conversation with you.

*Whilst we do not anticipate any issue with the submission of your part of the conversation, but due to infrequent technical difficulties (as we are getting used to this new process of completing PWBC conversations as much as you are) we suggest that you copy and paste the content of your added information and save this (in a draft email or word doc.). Therefore, you will not lose all of your hard work before you receive the confirmation email with the full copy of your PWBC conversation enclosed.
