Manage Performance
Performance management is a cycle that builds on continual feedback and ongoing evaluation – both positive and developmental. The process includes setting clear expectations and performance outcome measures, observing behavior and performance, providing feedback, support, corrective action, and conducting regular performance evaluation meetings.
Documenting Performance
Staff performance evaluations are an on-going supervisory process. It is the responsibility of the immediate supervisor to monitor staff employee performance and behavior and to provide timely feedback to the employee. Supervisors should use the Special Performance Evaluation Form to document exceptional performance and/or behavior or areas for concern.
Special Performance Evaluation FormAnnual Performance Appraisal
The annual performance appraisal serves as a basis for merit pay increases (when available) and encourages employee development. At the beginning of January, an annual performance appraisal will launch for each staff employee provided the individual began employment at least 45 days prior to commencement of the appraisal period on January 1st. The annual performance appraisal is completed and stored in the University’s Talent Management system.
Six Month Performance Review
Supervisors should evaluate an employee’s performance after six months of the employee moving into a new position. Six-month reviews are completed in Talent Management.
