Annual Staff Evaluations

The performance evaluation process aims to provide staff with meaningful feedback about work performance and identify opportunities for continued professional growth.

Staff may actively participate in performance development by completing a self-appraisal. Self-appraisals allow staff members to reflect on their accomplishments and challenges during the past year and determine where additional professional development would be valuable. The self-appraisal form is available in Workday.

Staff Performance Evaluation Timeline

(Tentative subject to change)

Starting in February

 

Staff are encouraged to complete self-appraisals in Workday. Self-appraisals allow staff members to reflect on their accomplishments and challenges during the past year, as well as determine where additional professional development would be valuable. Self-appraisals should be completed prior to manager and staff performance evaluation meetings.

March 20

 

Launch of Annual Performance Evaluations in Workday.  An evaluation form will be delivered to each manager’s Workday inbox for each regular and fixed-term staff member in their supervisory organization.

April 30

 

Last day to submit the annual staff performance evaluations. Please complete the evaluation and submit it to your Performance Partner for review and/or approval by April 30, 2025. Once the Performance Partner approves, evaluations may route to Employee and Labor Relations for final review (depending on the rating) and then to employees. Managers will receive a notification of employees’ receipt of the evaluation.
