Performance Evaluations

To encourage continuous growth, the university has implemented a review process that includes two Performance Check-Ins per year. Both check-ins will provide employees and managers a chance to discuss recent efforts, goals and opportunities for growth. Employees and Supervisors will also share mutual feedback and plan for the months ahead. Progress Check-Ins are just one step in the continuous process of improving the way our university functions.

Annual Progress Check-In Calendar

The performance review calendar includes two scheduled Progress Check-In discussions throughout the course of the fiscal year, with the second check-in including a manager rating:

  • First Progress Check-In: Mid-fiscal year discussion
  • Second Progress Check-In: End-of-fiscal year discussion and ratings

The end-of-year Progress Check-In forms should be saved in ePerformance by June 12, 2026.

Units can set their own internal deadlines for the self-review and manager assessment as long as Progress Check-Ins are saved in ePerformance by June 12, 2026. Suggested dates for each step are provided in ePerformance, but please connect with your supervisor to confirm deadlines for your unit. 

  • April 13: ePerformance opens in myHR
  • April 30: Self-review submitted
  • June 12: Supervisor assessment saved/submitted

Process Overview

The Progress Check-In includes: 

  1. Self-review, completed by the employee via the myHR ePerformance tile.  
  2. Supervisor assessment, completed in ePerformance following the employee self-review.
  3. Employee and supervisor meeting to discuss both the self-review and the assessment.
  4. Opportunity for final comments from the employee once the progress check-in meeting occurs (end-of-fiscal year process only) 

Areas of Review 

Both the self-review and supervisor assessment portions of the Progress Check-In have three areas to review:

  • Successes and accomplishments 
    • What has the employee achieved/completed since the last Progress Check-In?
    • What is working well and helping the employee meet their goals/objectives?
  • Concerns and growth opportunities 
    • Has the employee experienced any challenges in meeting their goals?
    • Are there any professional concerns or developmental opportunities?
    • Are there any changes to these goals that the employee or manager should consider?
  • Next steps 
    • What are the next steps for the employee and the manager?
    • What assistance does the employee need to accomplish their steps?
    • Are there any professional development or career management goals you would like to discuss?
