Tenure Tracking Systems

Tenure tracking systems are formal processes used by organizations, especially in academia, to evaluate and support the professional growth of their employees over time. They involve regular assessments of performance, research, teaching, and service, ultimately determining if an individual earns job security and permanence in their position—often called "tenure." This system ensures continuous development, accountability, and quality standards. It balances the individual's career advancement with the organization's goals, providing a pathway from early career stages to a permanent, protected role, allowing the individual to pursue long-term projects and academic freedom.
