Annual performance reviews are a critical piece of the development process for faculty and academic staff. Enacting an effective annual review process for all is a key performance expectation for academic leaders. This session will discuss the elements to include in annual reviews for faculty and academic staff to ensure their usefulness in supporting career growth, recognizing and rewarding meritorious performance, and scaffolding progress toward reappointment, promotion, and tenure expectations. Perspectives on how to manage the review process will also be shared.
