Performance Management (for staff)

SEHD's University Staff Performance Development & Management tool (This link goes to an excel file which will download in a new window.)

This is an all-in-one excel tool with tabs for each section. It was provided from Denver campus HR for our use beginning in 2023. It includes the two documents that were previously called the Professional Plan and Performance Evaluation rating form. Please use this tool exclusively for SEHD University Staff until further notice.

If you supervisor Classified Staff, please contact SEHD HR (sehdhr@ucdenver.edu) for the unique form and tips you will need.
