There is a Performance review system in our organisation but, historically, no way of knowing how/ whether it is carried out by managers.

I have recently compiled a Performance and Development Review handbook, which is awaiting approval but has been well-receivevd so far.

I have now been set the task of designing a training programme to raise awareness of the appraisal process and to highlight the skills involved. I am thinking of doing a policy-awareness session, essentially talking through the process, and then another session which is more skills-focussed.

I also need to work out how the appraisal uptake can be monitored.

Does anyone have any training materials/ programme they could share and any monitoring systems which work without being too labour-intensive or intrusive? Anything you can think of would be much appreciated. Thanks very much.
