Overall Performance Categories
The annual performance evaluation provided for each employee should reflect the supervisor’s objective feedback regarding the employee’s work performance, contributions to the University, and how they demonstrate organizational competencies (found in job descriptions) for the period under review. Additionally, the review should include input from the employee and others with whom they work. Constructive feedback is also essential as opportunities for development are an important element to employee performance development and professional growth. The overall annual performance rating category reflects the employee’s overall work performance and contributions for the period being reviewed. Below is a chart of examples of what each category “looks like” in regards to demonstrated actions and behaviors.
