What happens after the appraisal meeting?
Can managers see which reviews are due?
Dates and preparation tasks are missed when each manager keeps a separate diary or document.
Who owns each agreed action?
Objectives and development commitments lose momentum when owner, due date and status remain inside meeting notes.
Can follow-up connect to development evidence?
CPD, training and competence actions are often tracked separately from the conversation that created them.
What changes with SkillProof.
Spreadsheets, folders and inboxes
- Due reviews depend on individual manager diaries.
- Preparation and feedback are split across documents and email.
- Objectives and actions remain buried in meeting notes.
- CPD, training and competence follow-up loses its appraisal context.
With SkillProof
- Run structured preparation and review steps based on configured templates.
- Keep meeting outcomes, objectives and owned development actions against the staff record.
- Track confirmation, sign-off, check-ins and status without automatically scoring performance.
How it works
From preparation to accountable follow-up
Every step works from the records SkillProof already holds, so nothing is copied into another tracker.

What it tracks
- Preparation, feedback, meeting, confirmation and sign-off status

Why organisations replace spreadsheets

Training and LMS context
SkillProof includes a governed LMS for creating, assigning, completing and reviewing internal learning alongside workforce compliance records. It also records review and development follow-up around training, CPD and competence records.
