Annual Performance Reviews

I'm happy to report that 98% of our annual performance reviews were completed, reviewed and submitted to UT HR by the March 31 deadline. Although it is a long and time consuming process, it is important that every employee understand the expectations placed upon him/her by the leadership of the organization in order to best serve our customers.

Now we have a chance to take a breather and later this summer we will re-visit our process. Although the time frame is dictated by the university, as is the performance review summary form, the internal forms and processes are entirely up to us. I encourage you to engage in discussion with your agency management team on ways to improve the forms, the reporting and the overall process.

Given that we will continue to conduct annual reviews (and more frequent follow-ups with those not performing at or above expectations), we need to make the process work for us. Every employee deserves to know how his/her individual work contributes to the agency, institute and university strategies for success.
