2023 Performance Appraisal Process
The performance appraisal process launched Nov. 20, 2023, and starts with the employee self-assessment.
The employee self-assessment helps employees and managers compare ratings and examples of demonstrated performance to identify any areas of strength or needed improvement, have a discussion about accomplishments and challenges, create a plan to improve performance, and provide employees recognition and coaching.
Employees can best prepare to participate in the performance appraisal process by:
- Setting time in their schedule to complete a self-assessment and/or draft manager assessments for staff by the below deadlines.
- Accessing the below training and resources to learn the process steps and best practices.
- Keeping track of key actions and the timeline by referring to the Performance Appraisal Action Checklist & Process Support document.
