Save administrative time and reduce errors

Upgrade from manual spreadsheets to a nimble system of record. Redirect your time to the areas you really want to be spending it.

Build career tracks in a reusable way that will grow with your institution.
Create default timelines to outline common milestone events, like reviews, for each track.
Quickly align faculty to their career path. Use faculty attributes you already have in Faculty Success – like rank and unit – to refine the list of applicable career paths and make the right match.
Personalize paths for individual faculty members based on their unique career events, like a leave of absence, without affecting the timelines for others.

Enable strategic forecasting

From this aggregate central source of data on career tracks and progress, administrators gain new insights that support strategic resource and personnel planning. For example, by understanding the volume and type of faculty reaching critical career milestones in a given timeframe, they can better forecast and manage:

Promotion and tenure review workloads.
Research and development leave coverage.
Hiring needs resulting from retirements.
