Performance Management

Performance Management

Kansas State University is on a mission to lead as a next-generation land-grant university. We're setting the standard by championing a culture of innovation, learning, creativity, discovery and engagement. Our goal is to make a lasting impact on society and transform lives both in Kansas and around the world. K-State recognizes the importance of investing in our workforce and talent management strategies to achieve our vision. We are committed to building and sustaining a next-generation workforce that reflects our values and drives our mission forward.

Our performance management process is designed to align with our aspiration of being One K-State. This unified approach supports a culture that binds and connects us, prioritizing operational excellence at every level. Please note that this process specifically applies to all university support staff and unclassified employees. Faculty, temporary and student employees are not reviewed through this process. The evaluation needs and employment conditions for these groups differ significantly from those of regular staff members. If you are in one of these categories, please consult your specific guidelines or contact your department for appropriate evaluation procedures. Colleges and units should continue to use existing performance appraisal forms and processes throughout calendar year 2024.

To support K-State's mission of becoming a next-generation land-grant institution, we invite all university support staff, unclassified staff, and those who supervise these classifications to register for the upcoming training sessions with their units. There are several sessions in this series to accommodate various schedules and training modalities. Please visit the Performance Management strategic initiative webpage to learn about the project objectives and methodology that informed our process.
