This process ensures communication between supervisors and employees, and our goal is to promote continuous quality improvement in service to our students and communities.
Employees are encouraged to complete their portion of the form before their Performance Appraisal meeting with their supervisor. There are several ways the evaluation process can work. It is up to the supervisor and the employee to decide how best to handle the process. The ultimate goal is that all areas of the evaluation are completed with one performance rating in each category; a verbal meeting occurs between the supervisor and employee to specifically discuss the evaluation and goals; and both parties sign the evaluation prior to its submission to Human Resources.
Appraisal discussions are to occur annually, towards the end of each fiscal year (a fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30). Evaluation forms signed by both the employee and supervisor are due to Human Resources no later than August 31st each year.
The five evaluation categories align with the College's Core Values: People, Community, Learning, Excellence, and Integrity. Additional performance requirements specific to a given job may be added. Each category on the final evaluation form includes one performance rating: Needs Improvement, Meets Standard, or Exceeds Standard. Meeting the standard means that an employee consistently meets the basic requirements of the category description (e.g., work habits, quality of work, quantity of work, etc.).
Both parties should recognize the employee's strengths and positive contributions, as well as the work behaviors that need improvement. Be clear and use specific examples. If improvement is needed, provide clear expectations with a timeline.
Between July 1 and August 31 of each year, employees must complete required compliance modules through SafeColleges. Supervisors must ensure that adequate work time is allocated and that the task is completed. These modules are to be completed by all employees no later than August 31 each year. When answering this question on the performance appraisal, ensure the employee completed the modules for the fiscal year being evaluated.
Employees paid through EDUStaff must complete the compliance modules through Global Compliance Network (GCN) by August 31 each year.
Review the job description and ensure duties are accurately reflected. If the Supervisor has any changes to make to the job description, they would be requested in this area. Human Resources, when reviewing performance appraisals, will note these changes and contact the Supervisor for further discussion before the change is implemented. This section should only update or correct duties the employee is currently doing, but are not reflected in their current job description. This is not intended as a place to create or add new responsibilities not currently performed by the employee.
Use this section to highlight the employee's strong skills, overall strengths, and achievements. If they had any significant accomplishments (e.g., completed a degree, earned a certification, presented at a conference, etc.) or assisted the community in a positive way, this is the place to note those contributions. Ideally, both employee and supervisor comments would be listed in this section.
How does the employee feel about their position? What do they love about their position? What keeps them doing what they do on a daily basis? Is there an aspect of their position that they may not like to do, but gain satisfaction when the task is complete? Satisfaction could also include aspects of the department they work in, supervisory relationship, or the College as a whole.
This area is for any other comments you would like to provide. For Supervisors, if you have an employee with whom you will be working on a performance improvement plan, you would document that information here. Ideally, both employee and supervisor comments would be listed in this section.
Review any goals that had been set from the last performance appraisal. Log the status of these goals (in process, completed, etc.). If you have a new employee and this is their first performance appraisal, leave this area blank.
Assist the employee in goal setting. Goals could be geared toward an improvement the employee needs to make or could be one that may take them several years to reach. Help the employee reflect on their position and identify goals that would help them grow within their role or at the College. At least 2 goals should be set. One goal should be professional (e.g., professional development, certification, learning a new skill, etc.), and the other (or more) should be aligned with advancing the Strategic Plan or department initiatives.
