Ongoing Evaluation
It is very important that managers and supervisors hold informal meetings about three times year (e.g. April, August, December) with employees to provide ongoing feedback on what they are doing well and where they may need development. Building those conversations in as a standard part of the management relationship will help ensure no surprises each year and should lead to stronger employee performance throughout the year.
Performance Evaluation Timeline
NOTE: Since the performance calendar was transitioned back to a calendar year, employees will not be formally* evaluated for the period of 7/1/19-12/31/19 on the 2020 evaluation form. The 2020 evaluation period is from January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2020.
*If you choose to evaluate the period of 7/1/19-12/31/19, you may do so on a separate evaluation form as a mid-year evaluation. However, this is not required.
