What’s Happening Now
Annual Evaluations
The annual evaluation window is open from June 1 through September 30 each year. Schools and units establish their own internal deadlines within that time period. Below is a recommended guideline for closing out the 11-12 performance management cycle:
Between mid-June & mid-July: Employee completes the annual self-evaluation (step 5) and sends the form forward to their supervisor (step 6).
Between mid-July and the end of August: The supervisor completes their portion of the employee's annual evaluation and sends form forward to the reviewer for calibration and signature (step 7); the reviewer sends the form forward to the supervisor for signature (step 8).
Between the end of August and the end of September 30: The form resides in step 8 with the supervisor until they meet with the employee to conduct the annual evaluation; employee signs form and sends it forward to archive it (step 9).
Performance Planning
The performance planning window is open from June 1 through September 30 each year. Schools and units establish their own internal deadlines within that time period. Below is a recommended guideline for beginning the performance management cycle:
Between August & September: Supervisors and managers should work with employees to draft goals, select competencies, and identify development opportunities for the coming year.
Between the beginning of August and mid-September: Employee completes a draft of the performance plan (step 1) and sends the form forward to their supervisor (step 2).
Between mid-September and the end of September: Supervisors review the draft plans and conduct any back and forth conversations/drafts that are needed, resulting in a completed plan (step 2). At the end of September, the form should be residing in step 3.
Employee Development is offering a host of classes related to performance management. Supervisors and managers can also find specific courses to help guide them through the performance management process.
