Performance Management

At WPI, we are dedicated to the continuous growth and development of our staff. We place a high value on the performance evaluation process as it supports employees in achieving their personal and professional goals, while also aligning with the broader objectives of their department, division, and the university as a whole. The annual review cycle spans from June 1 to May 31

Our performance management process is designed to be a developmental exercise. Managers are responsible for creating an environment where employees can perform their best work, find purpose, and experience fulfillment. This process not only assesses past achievements but also sets the stage for future success by establishing clear goals and development plans.
