2022 Merit Update: Newly Aligned Performance Review Cycle
To ensure we are equitably evaluating and rewarding outstanding work among our faculty and staff, we are modifying our performance review process. The new performance review cycle will result in an aligned and equitable procedure for both faculty and staff, ensuring sustained achievements across all of DU.
For several years, the University has operated with two separate performance cycles: the academic cycle (July 1 – June 30), and the merit cycle (October 1 – September 30). Using two cycles has created confusion, misalignment, inconsistencies, and disconnect between feedback and merit. Moving forward, we have decided to condense these cycles into one performance timeline aligned with our fiscal year. Having one performance cycle across the University will create better efficiencies, budget alignment, and recognition.
What should you be doing right now?
- Complete your self-review
- Your supervisor will complete your review
- Meet with your supervisor to discuss
Be thinking about your goals for the next cycle, April 1 - March 31, 2023. You will be entering those goals in July.
Further information and training sessions will be provided in The Bridge throughout this process.
