Academic performance and development review

About academic performance development and reviews

The University expects that all academic staff will meet regularly with their academic head or supervisor to discuss performance in the role, clarify expectations, and to set objectives that support career development and align with the needs of the area.

In order to support academic performance development, Human Resources provides academic performance and development review guidelines and an online system to record regular review and objective-setting. These formal appraisal and goal-setting processes for academic staff happen either annually or biennially for different groups.
