SECTION I - INTRODUCTION
Purpose of this Manual
The purpose of this manual is to provide a reference guide for supervisors on evaluating employee's
performance and contains a summary of the performance evaluation process for full-time and part-time
staff.
The approach to performance evaluation described in this manual will assist supervisors in evaluating
the performance of their employees by providing both specific performance objectives and standards.
These objectives and standards will ensure that all employees are aware of the performance standards
which apply to each of their jobs.
Note: Union employees follow a different process and are not evaluated using the University Online
Performance Evaluation tool.
Purposes of a Performance Evaluation System
1. To ensure open and honest communication between supervisors and employees regarding
job responsibilities, expectations, performance standards and business goals.
2. To provide the opportunity to review the period of evaluation and to discuss both positive
and negative aspects of employee performance and to acknowledge meritorious
performance.
3. To enhance overall job performance with subsequent improvement of unit and institutional
effectiveness.
4. To encourage employees to identify issues of concern, put forth new ideas, and assist in goal
setting for themselves, the unit, and the institution.
5. To provides the opportunity to redefine the requirements for the next evaluation period, as
necessary.
6. To permit the supervisor and the employee to discuss opportunities for growth and identify
training needs.
A quality performance evaluation places significant responsibility upon the supervisor. Evaluation
requires continuous observation, analysis of employee actions, and first-hand knowledge of the
employee and his/her work habits. Performance evaluation is not a once-a-year activity. It must be
viewed as a continuous process with frequent feedback and observation, all culminating in the formal
performance review. A good evaluation system with constant communication assures that there are no
surprises during the formal review session.
