2026 Annual Performance Review

Chart Your Career – Quarterly Connect & 2026 Annual Performance Review

It is time for your final quarterly connect and annual performance review. On this page you will find information to support the completion of the 2026 Annual Performance Review conversation and form for the 2026 calendar year. The Chart Your Career 2026-Annual Performance Review is to be used for non-represented staff hired before September 30, 2026.

Annual performance review conversations are a time to recognize and celebrate accomplishments by making a note of the core competencies that got us there and opportunities for growth; and draft a plan for future development. If you have participated in Quarterly Connects, this is the time to create a cumulative snapshot of the year’s work.

In 2025, we introduced an app in MyBUworks for managers to complete the review. Thank you to everyone who used this application and provided feedback. Your feedback inspired several enhancements to this application for 2026. Watch this video tutorial to learn more. It is important to note that this application is an interim solution and does not have all the capabilities envisioned in Chart Your Career.

The deadline to complete the 2026 performance reviews is November 13, 2026.
