Performance Management

Philosophy

We seek to empower employees to reach their full potential. We believe in a holistic approach to developing employees by proactively managing performance through collaborative goal setting, coaching, and ongoing training. Our practices emphasize continuous improvement and growth, balanced with a commitment to accountability and alignment with institutional values.

Purpose

Performance management is a process that promotes conversation and feedback between managers and employees. The performance appraisal system is also a valuable tool to develop individual capacity and skill. Appalachian State University provides the AppState Careers performance management module as a tool for setting meaningful goals and evaluating employees fairly and consistently across the organization.
