Performance Management

The campus Continuous Performance Management (CPM) represents a continuous process of planning, communication, development, recognition, and evaluation between the employee and the manager. Managing performance is an important year-long collaborative process and is crucial to achieving LSU's Flagship Agenda.

  • State Civil Service is transitioning to a calendar year evaluation period and has implemented a transition phase to facilitate this change.
