The performance evaluation process is a collaborative effort between employees and managers. It is not the policy or the form that makes the evaluation successful, it is the actual performance conversation that a manager has with the individual that is most important.

The goals of the performance evaluation process are to:

• Align employee performance with the goals and mission of both the unit and the university;
• Enable two-way communication regarding job performance and periodic assessment of goals and opportunities for the unit and the individual;
• Establish a mutually-understood set of performance expectations;
• Recognize contributions of employees;
• Discuss opportunities for growth and development, and;
• Provide necessary feedback when performance does not meet expectations.

Timeline 2013: The period of April 8 through June 12 has been designated as the time to conduct performance evaluations for unclassified employees.  Administrative policy states that all unclassified employees will receive a performance evaluation at least once annually. Managers have the option to use the performance evaluations available through viDesktop or the HR Forms Library.
