Annual Evaluation Essentials

What is the annual performance evaluation?

The annual evaluation is a formal, once-yearly performance evaluation. These evaluations consist of a performance conversation that includes self-assessment, manager evaluation, dialogue and feedback, and planning forward through goal setting. 


Who is required to complete an annual evaluation?

Central HR requires annual evaluations for the following employees:

  • Regular full-time (01) and part-time (03) staff in Workgroup A
  • Regular full-time (01) and part-time (03) faculty in Workgroup F

If an employee has been reclassified, transferred, or hired since October 1, 2022, they are not required by Central HR to have an evaluation completed for FY2023. Additionally, any employee receiving a merit increase must complete an evaluation.


How should I complete my annual evaluation?

Employees complete annual evaluations according to their Workforce Group assignment.
