Managing Performance

As we experience the challenging external demands being placed on all institutions of higher learning, as well as the changes unique to Columbia's continued growth and expansion, it is of particular importance that the University utilizes best practices that will attract and retain the most talented and diverse students, faculty and staff to maintain our competitive advantage and tradition of excellence.

We have developed a Guide to Performance Management for non-academic Officers and an online form to assist you.

See the Performance Appraisal Form for managers and read the FAQs.

To review an appraisal your manager has released to you, see the Performance Appraisal Form for staff.

Training for managers is also available throughout the year, in conjunction with your school or department.
