New for 2008: Updated Performance Management

Starting this year, we have developed a new Guide to Performance Management for non-academic Officers and a new online form to assist you.

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

Training for managers is also available starting this summer and continuing throughout the year, in conjunction with your school or department.

About Performance Management

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.

Officers

In accordance with Columbia's Performance Appraisal Policy, all Officers of Administration should receive written feedback about their performance at least once a year. We have developed a new Guide to Performance Management and a new Performance Appraisal Form to assist you.

Support Staff

Support staff employees are considered to be on probationary status for a sixty calendar-day period beginning with the date of employment. During the probationary period, either the employee or the department may terminate employment without notice, and the employee is not entitled to use grievance procedures. Timely completion of the probationary performance evaluation form is thus a very important activity for the hiring department.
