Wolfpack Performance Program – What is it?
University Human Resources is pleased to announce the new online performance management system. In April 2023, the Wolfpack Performance Program (WPP) replaced the university’s paper-based evaluation process, removing the need to shuffle papers between supervisors, employees, and their corresponding HR units, to a seamless web based system where the supervisor enters the performance and development goals and final ratings directly into the PeopleSoft based module. To see more about the new WPP watch this video.
Training – Why take it?
The Wolfpack Performance Program is a simple automated system. However, there are important changes in the performance management steps in addition to understanding how the automated program works. There are limited help features in the system, but there are informative user guides and training video guides available.
It is critical the supervisors go through the online training videos or use written instructions in the user guides prior to beginning a performance plan for employees. Asynchronous training options are available in REPORTER for SHRA and EHRA Nonfaculty plans.
