Works

Works is an online faculty activity reporting system for recording ongoing activities and accomplishments, such as teaching, research, service, awards, and public and international engagement.

The faculty annual review process in the Works system reduces faculty and administrative staff time and effort in documenting, emailing, and collecting individual review forms from faculty members each year. Works is also a useful tool for promotion as it can automatically generate a CV in the Medical School format.

Faculty will enter annual activities and respond to questions for their annual review (formerly the “SAFE” form) on a calendar year basis. Works will automatically route the annual review to faculty members, division directors (as applicable) and department heads. If a department has opted into the Works system for faculty annual reviews, the system will launch in Jan.-Feb. each year.

Faculty will have one place to enter this information on an annual basis. Once the annual review has been completed, the forms will be available to department heads and the Office of Faculty Affairs, eliminating the need to collect/share reports manually.

The timeline for submission will depend on departmental annual review processes and schedules.
