Performance Management

The University of Virginia is committed to a performance management system that fosters and rewards excellent performance. Effective performance management aligns the efforts of supervisors and employees with departmental and University goals, promotes consistency in performance evaluation, helps employees to perform at their best, and is conducted with fairness and transparency. The employee, the supervisor, and the University are critical members of a partnership that ensures performance planning, assessment, coaching, and career development.

In short, Performance Management is a collaborative, ongoing process between a supervisor and an employee to plan for, develop, and evaluate the employee’s work. It focuses on what employees do and how they do it.

At U.Va., performance management also includes opportunities to discuss and plan for employee career development. All University Staff and Classified Staff will participate in the performance process using the Lead@UVa performance software. A&P Faculty may participate in the process and this is dependent on the guidelines set forth in the various Vice Presidential areas across grounds.
