Performance Programs

Outstanding Service Award Programs may be used at the discretion of each collegiate/administrative seniority unit.

Performance Appraisal

The process of managing employee performance is critical to the success of employees, colleges/units, and the University. The University-wide performance appraisal forms are located online.

In some cases, colleges/departments/units may prefer to develop a performance appraisal/management plan (including a process, appraisal forms, and training for supervisors) specific to their unit. Alternate performance appraisal plans must be developed in conjunction with the unit's HR Pro and their OHR Human Resources Consultant and approved by the Office of Human Resources.

Units are encouraged to record the dates of all completed performance reviews in the PeopleSoft system.
