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.
The information is documented on the Individual Development Plan (IDP) form
