Performance Management

At Arizona State University, performance management is a process designed to support staff in achieving their full potential and align individual contributions with the university’s goals.

Through regular feedback and professional development, performance management helps staff members grow, enhance their skills and contribute to the university mission. This process ensures that every staff member can thrive in a collaborative and dynamic work environment by fostering a culture of continuous improvement, engagement and accountability.

We encourage all ASU staff to continue regular one-on-one meetings with their managers to stay connected, share feedback and discuss goals. These conversations are key to maintaining ongoing growth and alignment.  

Get ready for the future of performance management at Arizona State University.

With the university transition to Workday, EDGE Conversation is no longer available. We are launching a new performance management tool called Check-Ins in May 2025.

ASU is committed to cultivating a talent-driven culture of innovation and excellence that empowers Sun Devils to develop, thrive and reach their full potential. We will share updates, including detailed guides and training materials about the new check-in process in the spring.

One-on-one meetings: Regular meetings between managers and staff are essential for establishing trust and open communication.

Career development: ASU encourages managers to collaborate with staff to create opportunities that align with the employee’s career goals.

Performance recognition: Reinforce positive behaviors and keep staff motivated by celebrating performance milestones — whether completing a key project, mastering new skills or achieving a specific goal.

Continuous Feedback: Provide real-time feedback to foster a culture of continuous improvement.

These tools enable ASU managers and staff to engage in meaningful, proactive performance conversations that promote development, enhance feedback loops and create a clear path for career growth.
