The Office of Human Resources is thrilled to announce the launch of a revamped performance review process for staff in Workday, replacing the outdated PDF-based system.
HR’s new approach to performance reviews aims not only to simplify the evaluation process, but also to enhance its effectiveness in driving individual growth and organizational success.
“Whether you have questions about document uploads, understanding the rating scale, or need general assistance with the platform, our HR team will be available to help,” Associate Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer Institutional Helen Howell said. “Your active involvement in this process is vital to fostering a culture of continuous improvement and mutual support within our organization.”

Professional Development:They help identify training needs and opportunities for skill enhancement, fostering continuous learning.
