MANAGING & SUPPORTING PERFORMANCE

Managing performance isn't just something to think about when issues arise, it's about creating a culture where high performance is expected, supported, and celebrated. The University takes a proactive approach to performance management, starting with induction and probation, ensuring role clarity, and conducting effective Performance and Development Reviews. 

The Managing Performance policy complements the Performance and Review process and sets out a clear framework if performance concerns arise.
