Part Two — Professional Readiness Review
A deeper individual reflection around your annual development review.
Before you begin
Your reflection is yours
Private reflection
Your individual answers, reasoning and examples remain private.
They are not shared with your employer.
A useful development conversation
Your manager receives themes and prompts to help support the conversation — not your individual responses.
No pass or fail
This is a development tool, not a performance assessment.
Answer based on where you are today. There are no right answers.
📋
A little context first
This helps Michael tailor the reflection to your role and stage
For example: Building Surveying, Quantity Surveying, Commercial Property, Rural or Project Management.

One final question
Looking across the five areas, which would you most like to develop over the next few months? Select up to three.
Please select at least one area (up to three).
Manager Reflection
Before you begin
A team member has completed their Professional Readiness Benchmark. Your perspective takes around 5 minutes.
Why your perspective matters
This is not an assessment of your team member. Your reflection adds another perspective on how they are developing in practice — how they communicate, use judgement, take responsibility and respond to feedback.
The aim is to help create a more useful development conversation and identify where support, experience or further development may help next.
What you'll see
A development view across five professional areas.
What stays private
You will not see your team member's specific answers or private reflections.
Your responses are combined with the participant's development themes to help shape the conversation and suggested priorities, and are treated in confidence.
Your perspective
Seven questions — approximately 5 minutes. Examples are helpful but not required.
Thank you
Your responses have been submitted.
We'll combine your perspective with your team member's self-assessment to produce a development summary. You don't need to do anything further.
