Performance Management FAQs

Performance tasks will be in your Workday inbox. Log into Workday, navigate to your Workday inbox, and open the task. 

It depends on your role and entity. Visit the Academic or UVA Health Performance Management page to confirm who's eligible to complete or receive a review.

We recommend 4-5 overarching goals per year, with at least one focused on professional development (required for Medical Center team members and Nursing staff), that follow a SMART or OKR format.

Always discuss expectations with your manager.

Managers and upper leadership can cascade, add, edit, or archive goals for you (on your "Performance" page under your "Goals" tab in Workday).

Workday has two "Sharing" options that impact visibility and whether feedback appears in your year-end or quarterly review:

"Share with me"

• Who can see it? You only 
• When to use? Personal development feedback you want kept private
• Important note for Nurses: Do not use this for peer review as it will prevent feedback from appearing in your year-end review

"Share with others"

• Who can see it? You and your management chain (your supervisor and their supervisor)
• When to use? Any feedback you want included in your year-end review
• Important note for Nurses: Required for peer review so it automatically appears in your year-end review

No, but if you feel feedback should be deleted, contact AskHR@virginia.edu for assistance.

For feedback (peer review) reports, visit the Feedback Resources page and review the "Workday How-To" section.

Email AskHR@virginia.edu requesting to have the review sent back to the manager evaluation step.

You'll receive the review after your employee submits their self-evaluation, or after it has been mass advanced (check your entity's performance management page timeline for mass advancement dates).
