Talent Advancement Program (TAP)
Brandeis University’s Talent Advancement Program is a commitment to foster a culture of engagement and to support staff professional development and career growth at Brandeis.
At the core of TAP is a robust, continuous, and collaborative performance management process between staff and managers focusing on frequent and ongoing development conversations supported by a mid-year and annual review. This process is automated and streamlined to create a standardized and consistent process for continuous dialogue to support our mission to attract, retain, and develop our staff.
Talent Advancement Program 2026
The FY26 Talent Advancement Program (TAP) performance review process for staff launches on April 1, 2026. Workday will be open for eligible staff and managers to complete their performance reviews during this period. All reviews must be submitted no later than May 1, 2026.
Stay tuned for additional communications and resources to support you throughout the process.
Managers: It is essential for you to foster a culture of ongoing dialogue and feedback with your staff. We encourage you to continue meeting regularly with your staff.
If you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to your manager or the HR team.
