Workday Performance Management Launches October 1, 2026
During Fiscal Year 2027, effective October 2026, our campus will transition to utilizing the Workday Performance Management module for annual reviews. Workday Performance Management is the system used to complete your annual performance evaluations, set goals, and share feedback. You can access all performance tasks directly through your Workday Inbox or by clicking the Performance App on your Workday home screen. This is not replacing the interactive review process; it is enhancing it and is just the documentation of the discussions with a supervisor on the performance review/mid-point/goals.
Important Review Dates & Timeline:
The initial Goal Setting will launch on October 1, 2026. The initial Mid-Year Check In will occur on January 1, 2027.
General Timeline for future Fiscal Years:
July 1: Goal Setting Begins.
-
- Employees establish their annual performance targets.
December 1: Mid-Year Check In.
-
- A pulse check to review goal progression and make necessary adjustments.
April 2: Annual Review Kickoff
-
- . The
Employee Self-Review
-
- officially launches. Once your self-review is marked complete, your
Manager Review
-
- will instantly launch in their Workday Inbox.
June 30: Supervisor Evaluations Due
Please note this represents a change from our prior calendar-year deadline model to a fiscal-year aligned process. The 2 supervisor approval points (supervisor and supervisor’s supervisor) will remain in place.
We recognize there are many changes occurring across campus and within Workday overall, and adjustments can take time. A positive aspect of this transition is the move away from manual, paper-based processes – eliminating the need to manage and route PDF forms back and forth.
Please note that this initial Workday performance management launch will not include IFO faculty reviews.
Please contact the Office of Human Resources (hr@mnstate.edu) with any questions.
