TWU Staff Performance Evaluations

Staff performance evaluations provide an opportunity for employees and supervisors to reflect on accomplishments, discuss performance and expectations, and identify opportunities for continued growth and development. The process is designed to support meaningful conversations about each employee’s contributions and goals while ensuring performance expectations are clearly understood.

Please use the timeline below to help you plan for and complete each step of the 2026-2027 Staff Performance Evaluation process. Contact information and training resources are also available on this page to support you throughout the process.
