Cornerstone for Performance Management

Why Cornerstone for Performance Management?

The University of Colorado Boulder decided to implement an online performance management solution to better support our collective efforts toward improving talent management on campus. The specific goals of this implementation are to:

  • Alleviate the administrative burden of our existing and varied performance management processes
  • Better align work occurring across campus in support of specific unit goals and the Chancellor’s strategic imperatives
  • Introduce campus competencies more broadly to demonstrate the importance that work be accomplished in a manner consistent with campus values and the Colorado Creed
  • Facilitate more frequent and meaningful conversations between employees and managers as they relate to goal alignment, performance, and employee development
  • Better calibrate how different performance ratings are utilized across campus to ensure they are assigned fairly and equitably
