UW–Madison is committed to helping all employees meet their career and professional goals, as well as supporting the university’s need to maintain a high-performing workforce. Effective performance management strategies position the university to provide employees with developmental opportunities, better recognize performance that exceeds expectations, and support employees who need to improve performance.
Performance Management
The online Performance Management Development Program (PMDP) system is functional and we have fully transitioned to this system. To access the PMDP system, you will need to add a widget to your MyUW portal.
This is an accordion element with a series of buttons that open and close related content panels.
