Performance Evaluations 2024
The 2023/2024 year-end staff annual evaluation period here. The current performance period ends on May 1, 2024. Please note that the 12-month/annual evaluation period for each employee is May 1, 2023 to May 1, 2024.
Human Resources recommends that all Appropriate Administrators with direct reports begin the process for reviewing each employee's performance for the current period in preparation for timely completion. As a reminder, all staff evaluations are due to Human Resources by June 30, 2024.
These are some tips to writing effective performance reviews:
- Provide regular, informal feedback. Feedback should not be limited to that short period of time. You should be offering consistent assessments throughout the year so there aren't any surprises.
- Be honest. There is always room for improvement. Decide what is worth addressing and don't hesitate in doing so.
- Do it face-to-face. The written review should be a brief but direct overview of discussion points, making for a more nuanced face-to-face conversation.
- Use tangible, pertinent examples. When discussing areas for improvement or things an employee has done well, make sure you have clear examples to reference.
- End on a positive note. Don't leave the review without mutual understanding and respect, and don't let any employee feel like they're in the dark going forward.
We have a bundle of courses available in CSU Learn to help you craft a great performance evaluation. Please see the information in the Soft Skills area below.
