Performance Management

USF St. Petersburg recognizes the importance of performance management and is committed to providing employees with regular, timely and valuable feedback regarding their performance. It is an expectation that employee performance will align with the university’s strategic plan, vision, mission, values and goals.

The performance management process is a collaborative effort between supervisors and employees, which includes performance planning and goal setting, day-to-day coaching and feedback, periodic performance check-ins and formal performance review.

Performance standards and expectations, based on an up-to-date position description, should be clearly communicated to employees, both when they are appointed to their position and as those standards and expectations change throughout their employment at USF. Employees should receive adequate training necessary to effectively perform the duties and responsibilities of their position.

Human Resources can assist supervisors with the performance management process by providing guidance and recommendations. Performance management must be administered in compliance with provisions of collective bargaining agreements, as applicable.
