Let’s make some time to talk

As we enter the new financial year, it is a great time to stop and reflect on your achievements at work over the last six months and plan for the next six months ahead.

Give Me Five or Annual Performance discussions is Monash Health’s tool to help guide these conversations and allow you the opportunity to talk about your experiences, clarify expectations, set your goals and provide feedback to your manager.

What do you need to do? 

  • Book in a convenient time with your manager for your Give Me Five or Annual Performance conversation
  • Pick a location you are comfortable with for the meeting. Face-to-face socially distanced, via Webex or over the phone are all great solutions.
  • Visit the Give Me Five page of the COVID-19 employee website for some useful resources, guides and top tips on these conversations
  • Download the Give Me Five template and complete it ahead of your conversation. Don’t worry if there are gaps; the conversation is what’s important, not the piece of paper!

Please note; support services and security employees should download the Give Me Five template for support services and security.

  • Upon agreement with your manager, a record of a completed Give Me Five/Performance Review conversation can be added directly to HR 21/Employee Self Service by individual employees.

Employees can check when they last had this conversation by logging into their HR 21/Employee Self Service > 1. My Details > “Performance Enhancement [APR]”.

Managers can find helpful resources for completing these conversations on the Give Me Five page of the COVID-19 employee website and check their team’s status via the ‘Mandatory training’ tab in the BI Portal.
