Annual appraisals
In 2011, the University of Bremen introduced the annual appraisal as an important instrument of personnel development and management for all employees in research and teaching as well as in administration and technology. Participation is mandatory for all managers and employees of the university.
Conducting regular annual appraisals can
- improve cooperation,
- promote appreciative feedback between supervisors and their employees,
- help to coordinate new fields of work and tasks,
- and support and advance professional development.
HR Development supports managers and employees in preparing and conducting annual appraisals.

Workshops and events
To support supervisors, HR Development regularly offers workshops on conducting annual appraisals. In the workshop, you will learn about the tool and have the opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues. Participation in a workshop is a prerequisite for conducting annual appraisals.
HR Development offers information events for employees. The focus is on the catalogue of questions, which should serve as a basis and orientation for the annual appraisal. The annual appraisal is a personal and confidential discussion. The information event provides an opportunity to clarify open questions.
