Individual Development Plans
The Wisconsin Statutes, Chapter 230.37, state that appointing authorities should establish "an employee evaluation program to provide a continuing record of employee development and, when applicable, to serve as a basis for pertinent personnel actions.” At UW-L, the method to document position expectations and results is accomplished through Individual Development Plan (IDP) process.
Annually, supervisors of unclassified academic staff and classified employees are expected to meet with their employees to discuss department/unit goals, employee career goals and supervisory position expectations. Information is documented on the IDP checklist and form and a copy of the completed IDP is placed in the employee’s personnel file.
Information about the IDP process including timelines and sample forms can be found at:
