Performance Management

Northern Arizona University recognizes the important role that performance management plays in the accomplishment of the university’s strategic goals and priorities.  Therefore, the university will consistently manage performance in a manner which holds employees and supervisors accountable for supporting university values, successfully fulfilling assigned job responsibilities, and accomplishing individual performance goals.

With the annual strategic plan providing a framework for the future success of the university, the comprehensive and constant management of individual performance and development will be a critical foundation for that framework on all levels at the university.  Specifically, the overall assessment of each employee’s contributions will incorporate these components:

  • job behaviors
  • job responsibilities
  • individual performance goals
