Performance management is an ongoing process designed to assist employees to perform their jobs at the highest possible level and thereby contribute to the achievement of the University's mission and strategic goals. Regular evaluation improves communications and reinforces mutual understanding between supervisor and employee regarding performance expectations, job requirements, priorities and future goals. Evaluations also assist the employee in continuing professional development. The following guidelines are applicable to the performance evaluation process.

Regular employees are evaluated at the conclusion of their initial review period and annually thereafter by their supervisors. Performance should be discussed as frequently as possible during the year. Annually, a formal evaluation interview will be scheduled, at the conclusion of which the employee and supervisor sign the evaluation form. The original copy of the form, with additional comments of the employee, if he/she so chooses, is filed in the employee's official personnel file in the Office of Human Resources. The supervisor should give a copy to the employee and retain a copy.
