In today’s higher education landscape, organizations must seek ways to enhance performance and gain a competitive edge. A critical aspect is to effectively manage and develop our employees who support UD’s mission “to cultivate learning, develop knowledge and foster the free exchange of ideas.”

Human Resources (HR) new Staff Performance Management and Merit Pay Program and associated training equips employees and managers with the skills and tools necessary to set clear expectations, provide effective feedback, identify areas for growth, and recognize achievements. Since mid-March, HR has completed over 35 training sessions.

HR’s Talent and Organizational Development team continues to offer and facilitate live, in-person, and virtual training workshops. Staff self-appraisals must be completed and shared with managers by April 12, and all performance assessments must be completed by May 3.

Performance management training represents a strategic investment in organizational excellence. By empowering employees and managers to manage performance effectively, we can continue to chart a course toward sustainable growth in today’s dynamic environment.
