Performance Evaluations are a critical link between individual performance and the achievement of the institutions goals.

The Performance Evaluation Process

• Is required by policy and collective bargaining agreements.
• Provides employees a formal process for on-going feedback.
• Helps to ensure that standards and expectations of an employee's Position Descriptions are communicated and met.
• Acknowledges an employee's contributions, efforts and identifies areas of improvement.
• The evaluation serves as a permanent record of the employee's performance for a specified period of time.

Evaluators should review an employee's Position Description prior to completing an employee's performance evaluation. Employees should also be provided a draft of the evaluation and given an opportunity to provide input prior to the final evaluation being issued. Evaluators should consult Human Resources and the specific collective bargaining agreements for further procedural details on completing performance evaluations.
