Case Study: Appalachian State University improves talent management with PeopleAdmin HigherEd Platform and Performance Management

Meeting evolving talent management challenges with a responsive, user-friendly solution

Appalachian State University partnered with PeopleAdmin to improve its talent management processes after upgrading to the HigherEd Platform. The university needed a more effective way to manage performance, align staff around meaningful goals, and prepare for a new UNC systemwide performance management initiative, even as processes varied widely across the 16-campus system.

Using PeopleAdmin’s HigherEd Platform and Performance Management module, Appalachian State University simplified workflows, supported campus adoption, and adapted to new reporting requirements that initially required a paper form. With responsive support from PeopleAdmin, the team successfully implemented the changes, built stronger buy-in across campus, and continued expanding its HR technology use, including a mobile-friendly applicant portal.
