Recognizing the value of a robust and year-round performance management cycle and its importance in helping all of us achieve the Ohio University Mission, several updates have been made to our performance management tools and process, including new forms, a new rating scale, and a transition to a January through December measurement period for all administrative and classified staff.
Overview
During the measurement period of January 1 to December 31 of every year, informal or formal ongoing feedback should be provided to highlight strengths and identifying areas for improvement. Completed performance evaluations are due on April 15th.
Prior to the scheduled performance management meeting with the supervisor, employees should complete the self-assessment. Employees should include upcoming goals in their self-assessment.
Please note: As we transition to the calendar year cycle, UHR will discuss the 2024 measurement period and transition steps during the scheduled sessions from October 2024 through January 2025.
Forms
The Employee Performance Self-Assessment and the Performance Evaluation form [Word] should be completed for classified and administrative staff. The Probationary Evaluation, AFSCME 3200 Bargaining Unit [Word] should be completed for classified staff during their probationary period.
Supervisors and employees will work together in drafting goals. During the performance management meeting, the supervisor and employee will agree upon and finalize the goals for the upcoming period. The Planning Tip Sheet (PDF) may be used as a resource during the goal planning process. For more detailed information regarding our performance management process, please refer to the Performance Management Guidelines (PDF) .
Note that all completed classified evaluations should be sent to the Employee Service Center in UHR. All completed Administrative & Professional evaluations should be sent to the respective planning unit head. Questions may be directed to: uhr@ohio.edu or 740.593.1636
