Performance Management

What is the appraisal process?

  • Informal 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 or Quarterly Performance Appraisal
    • Self-evaluation component and supervisor appraisal
    • Standardized forms available for staff and administrative employees

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
