Performance Appraisals
To ensure that all employees perform their jobs to the best of their abilities, the university has a performance appraisal process which stresses the importance of employees being recognized for good performance and receiving appropriate suggestions for improvement as necessary. Consistent with this goal, performance will be evaluated in writing at least once each year by supervisors. This performance appraisal provides an opportunity for the employee and supervisor to discuss job related performance and to establish goals for improvement and further development. The goal of the performance appraisal is to enhance the employee’s job performance while establishing good communication channels between the employee and the supervisor.
