Performance management at UAB is an ongoing process whereby managers and employees assess job performance, set goals and action plans, and recognize achievement.
UAB’s performance evaluation cycle for 2023 opens July 1. Employees must submit self-evaluations and have conversations with their managers, and managers must complete their evaluations, by Sept. 30. Eligible full-time (01) and part-time (03) regular-status employees in workgroup A will complete self-evaluations in the Performance App; all faculty evaluations will continue to be uploaded into the Performance App.
What’s new
This year, the My Goals section of the Performance App form has been separated from the My Self Evaluation section. Employees are now able to view, add and amend goals throughout the year, as well as access their past, current and future goals. This change aims to encourage engagement and assist employees and their supervisors during regular and quarterly check-in conversations throughout the year.
Additional resources designed to help foster a continuous performance evaluation cycle and support managers and staff during the performance evaluation process are available on the Performance Management website.
