Performance Management @ Stanford and Simple Eval
Performance Management @ Stanford and Simple Eval programs were phased out in December 2020 and are no longer supported. For guidance on performance management within your school/unit, please contact your HR manager or representative.
Our Approach
The GPS journey is anchored in the growth mindset. It is the belief that skills can always be improved and that your setbacks can be learned from. It shifts the performance review conversation from a look back on what an employee did or did not accomplish, to what is possible.
