Performance Development Reviews for 2017/2018
The 2017/18 Performance Development Review (PDR) cycle is drawing to a close. All Lancaster University staff employed for more than 12 months continuously, including those on fixed-term contracts, are expected to take part in the PDR process. Staff who are on probation do not need to have a PDR but please read the section on probation below.
For full information on PDR policy, guidance and PDR forms please visit http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/pdr/ Research staff should use the Professional Services PDR form.

FAO New staff and their line managers – probation
Line managers should note that if they are managing a new non-academic (i.e. admin/ technical / research) member of staff then regular reviews need to take place and paperwork completed. There are two forms to complete – an initial PDR form and a Probation Review form (the latter at four months and eight months). Please visit the “Managing the Probation Period” of this webpage http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/hr/recruitment/inductionIndex.html and scroll down to the Non Academic Staff Probation section for guidance and the forms.

Room Bookings for Physics Building
Please could everyone ensure that they delete any room bookings that they have no longer need. Some staff are finding that they are having to book rooms in other buildings unnecessarily.

Safety briefings for summer students/interns/visitors
I hold a briefing for visitors and summer students on the Monday at 10am in B24. Alert them to the fire exits and muster points, responsibilities and so on. Please send any temporary visitors to these.

Return desk lamp from A11
I had a black, square based desk lamp in A11 which seems to have been moved. Can the person who has borrowed it return it please.

The next Physics Away Day will take place on Thursday 27th September in Green Lane Conference Centre. An agenda will be circulated in due course.
Attendance is mandatory for academic staff so please hold the date. All other staff are welcome to attend if they wish but please could anyone attending confirm your attendance to me, (with any dietary requirements), by COP 13th September.
