Performance Appraisal Process

 

The University of Wisconsin System UPS Operational Policy:HR-5 requires each UW institution to have a performance evaluation process in place for all academic and university staff employees.  At UW-L, the method to document position expectations and results is accomplished through a Performance Appraisal process.

 Annually, supervisors of instructional academic staff, non-instructional academic staff and university staff employees are expected to meet with their employees to discuss department/unit goals, employee career goals and supervisory position expectations.
