Performance Evaluations
The evaluation process consists of two (2) phases: employee self-evaluation and supervisor evaluation and review. Employees are encouraged to complete their self-evaluation by June 30, 2026. Supervisors may begin their evaluation only after the employee has submitted their self-evaluation.
This annual process provides employees and supervisors an opportunity to reflect on accomplishments, review progress toward goals, and establish a clear path for future development.
Please review the important dates and resources below to support a meaningful and productive evaluation experience.
