Performance Evaluations

The University of Denver expects each employee to perform the duties of their position at the highest level. All benefited staff members participate in the Performance Management at DU program, which is designed to encourage regular conversations with a focus on employee development and to to document and provide feedback on performance. This process includes a year-end formal performance assessment.

Faculty review processes are governed by the Policies and Procedures Relating to Faculty Appointment, Promotion, & Tenure (APT).

The value of performing and documenting a performance evaluation goes beyond the use of the evaluation for salary determination processes, and includes fostering the professional development of employees, providing clarification of job expectations, raising employee morale, documenting and correcting performance problems, assessing employees for promotional opportunities, and reviewing individual levels of performance in comparison to established standards.
