WHAT IS CAREER COMPASS?
Career Compass symbolizes a vision that a small group of people had in the fall of 2001 to improve the way we manage and develop our workforce.
Career Compass links three major activities:
- Job Standards, which clearly define job responsibilities
- Performance Management, which links performance evaluation to those responsibilities
- Career Development, which helps identify and support potential career paths defined by the new job standards
Together, these three activities support our University Mission and the individuals who make it possible. All three initiatives are the foundation for effective succession management.
| Job Standards | Performance Management | Career Development |
|---|---|---|
| Clarify key responsibilities | Common evaluation forms, scale, and job success factors | Training linked to common job success factors and individual development plans |
| Aligned with job market | Linked to individual goals and development plans | Programs that support career paths defined by job standards |
| Connected with performance evaluations | Aligned with campus and departmental goals | Helps prepare the workforce of the future |
| Support fair, transparent job evaluation decisions |
