What is the formal appraisal process?
- 45-Day Check-in from HR
- HR contacts the new hire directly
- Checks that the employee feels welcomed, trained and prepared for success
- The supervisor does not need to complete a formal appraisal until the 90-day Review, but is encouraged to reach out to HR with any questions or concerns
- 90-Day Review at the end of the probationary period
- Supervisor meets with new hire
- Evaluates the employee in terms of fit with the position and the University
- Evaluates the employee’s potential for future success in the role
- Employees that have transferred to another area or taken on significant new responsibilities also should receive a 90-day Review
- Annual Performance Appraisal
- Self-evaluation component and supervisor appraisal
- Operations conducts their reviews on the anniversary of hire date
- All other reviews are due on June 15 or before the employee leaves for summer break (unless alternative arrangements have been made with HR)
- Standardized forms available for staff and administrative employees
- Many divisions have customized review templates
Preparing for the annual performance appraisal:
- Complete the self-evaluation provided by your supervisor
- Include specific examples of performance highlights
- Consider areas of performance for which you’d like additional feedback or guidance
- Be prepared to discuss performance goals for the upcoming year
