Career progress and appraisal for professional staff

UQ's success depends on the performance of our staff, and the Recognition and Development process supports professional and TESOL language teaching staff and their supervisors to continually enhance performance.

Recognition and development occurs every day of the year, through on-going meetings and conversations between supervisors and staff, together with an annual performance appraisal.

The process includes:

    • clarifying and negotiating the goals and expectations of the position
    • providing feedback about the staff member's work and recognising achievements
    • identifying staff development needs and activities
    • preventing and resolving work problems
    • making plans to achieve career aspirations.

As a staff member, R&D gives you opportunities to increase your performance, your satisfaction with your work, and your career options.
