WHAT IS PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT?
Performance Management ensures ASU employees (non-faculty) and their leaders are:
- serving our students in ways consistent with university expectations;
- having periodic and candid conversations about employees’ contributions in the workplace;
- working together to set departmental and individual goals that link back to the President’s vision for the New American University; and
- working together to create developmental opportunities for every employee.

THE PROGRAM
The ASU Performance Management Program includes:
- Policies (SPP 309-01 and 309-02) that outline program requirements and the responsibilities of staff and management
- An informational guide (.ppt) that reviews the program components, benefits and related forms:

- Performance Evaluation Templates for Staff and Management
- Performance Development Plan Template
- Performance Improvement Template to be used where there are performance gaps
- Process Guide: Entering Performance Ratings (.pdf)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Units will be encouraged to use the University-wide template to evaluate performance, but may develop their own format as long as all required elements are present in the form.
