Performance Management Process

Creighton's Performance Management Process was developed by the Performance Management Working Group. This working group consists of faculty, staff and administration from various departments, divisions and schools within Creighton University.

Creighton's Performance Evaluation Process creates accountability and fosters a pay for performance culture.  The process also encourages input from all employees regarding their performance through the Employee Self Assessment form.
