What is Performance Excellence?

Northwestern’s Performance Excellence is a year-round experience driven by staff members and supervisors, to support individual performance and development and help teams, departments and the University become stronger and more effective.

Please take a moment to read about our Performance Philosophy at Northwestern. Activities such as goal-setting, check-ins, and performance reviews are structured across three phases and involve both offline conversations and online tracking and recording. The online tracking and recording of the Performance Excellence activities are enabled and facilitated by myHR Learn platform.
