Personal development review guide

Personal development reviews, often referred to as appraisals, are an excellent management tool.

Done well they can lead to happy, well-trained, motivated staff, and a positive team attitude, which is good for you, your clients, and your business. However, done badly they can be more damaging than not carrying out the review in the first place.

This BVA guide outlines the purpose of personal development reviews and information on how to get the most from the process. There are also templates to help you set up an effective review process.
