Performance Management

Performance Evaluations

Performance evaluations serve as a constructive tool to identify and review performance against university-defined core expectations, as well as specific job responsibilities. In addition, performance evaluations may be tied to performance-based salary increases.

Per SPP 309-01 and SPP 808, classified, university staff and non-faculty administrators must receive an annual performance evaluation. Performance evaluations for student workers and Staff PRNs are optional.

Performance Evaluation Process

Current performance review period is from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. All staff who worked during this time period, regardless of funding source, both part-time and full-time, must have an evaluation completed. This only applies to staff and does not apply to student workers, RAs, TAs, GAs, or GSAs.

Performance evaluations are to be completed thoughtfully and include the following elements:

  1. An evaluation of the employee's performance against the university core expectations as they relate to the employee's job
  2. A brief narrative summary of performance, accomplishments, and/or deficiencies in the evaluation period, focusing on the employee's specific job responsibilities
  3. An overall rating based on a five-point rating scale:
    • Rating level 1—Fails to meet performance expectations
    • Rating level 2—Inconsistently fulfills performance expectations
    • Rating level 3—Performance expectations fulfilled
    • Rating level 4—Frequently exceeds performance expectations
    • Rating level 5—Consistently exceeds performance expectation
  4. A brief summary of job-related goals for the upcoming evaluation period
  5. A brief summary of individual development opportunities for the upcoming evaluation period
