Performance Management

Performance review and development at Flinders is the basis for assessment and development of a staff member’s performance to assist in the achievement of individual, work area and/or organisational goals. 

Key elements of the performance management frameworks for academic and general staff include:

• Review of/ feedback about performance
• Assessment of performance for key decisions in relation to award of an increment, confirmation of probationary appointment, movement to a higher classification in a linked position (general staff) and recognition for higher level performance
• Determination of work priorities, workload allocation and performance expectations
• Identification of training and development needs/opportunities

This web page brings together the relevant policies, procedures, forms and templates in relation to the above.

The Personnel Consultant for your area will be able to provide assistance and further information. For contact details, click here.
