Performance management
Your progress is important. That's why we invest a lot of time & effort in supporting you to perform well & in building your capabilities.
Past, present & future
Performance and Development Planning (PDP) helps you make the most of your working life at Unilever.
The process supports you in identifying and delivering against challenging goals that impact the organisation. It helps you plan how you’ll develop skills and leadership behaviours for your current position and for the years ahead. It also gives you the opportunity to clarify expectations and discuss future opportunities.
The Process
Targets are agreed by the individual and line manager in a face-to-face discussion. The targets can be both team and individual in nature and encompass financial and other business targets as well as your personal development plan.
Performance will be formally assessed at least once a year against the agreed targets. A review will be conducted on how far the targets have been met and based on the gaps in skills and competencies a training and development plan will be discussed and agreed upon. It’s an approach designed to encourage clarity and transparency throughout the process.
Ongoing commitment
The key thing to remember is that this is an ongoing dialogue between you and your manager. It’s about listening, sharing and accepting feedback, and taking responsibility for the next step in your career.
