The 2011–12 PRDS review exercise (applicable to all full-time non-teaching appointees), for the period from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 30 2012, has commenced in July 2012. Reviewers should download the Review Report for this review exercise at here. Reviewers are also advised to read through the Performance Review and Development (PRD) Guide, Flowchart on PRD Cycle and Samples of completed PRD Reports (Section I) at the same website, before completing the Review Report and meeting the reviewees.

As already approved last year with effect from the 2011–12 review cycle, the minimum weighting of each accountability has been adjusted from 10% to 5% (while the permissible range of the weighting for ‘Mandatory Attributes’ remains unchanged), so as to more appropriately reflect the actual work allocation of reviewees. In addition, reviewers’ performance in conducting PRD for their subordinates will be assessed and recorded under their accountability on staff management. Details have been announced in July 2011 and July 2012 via General Circular issued by the Personnel Office. Reviewers should pay special attention to the above arrangement.
