University Staff Performance Management

Performance management serves as an important mechanism for providing feedback to university staff regarding performance expectations and achievements.

  • Consistent with Regent LawRegent Policies, and the Administrative Policy Statement on Performance Ratings for Staff, all university staff, including those who are partially or fully grant-funded, must receive an annual performance plan, a performance evaluation, and an overall performance rating for each university staff position an individual employee occupies.
  • Supervisors are not required to complete performance plans, evaluations, and overall performance ratings for retirees occupying temporary university staff positions.
  • All employees shall be evaluated based on their job performance during the previous evaluation period. The performance evaluations are quantitative, as they correlate to the defined performance rating levels. Supervisors are also encouraged to provide feedback as relevant to SMART goals.

  • Evaluations due by Sept. 15
