Process Change – Staff Performance Review Timing

Staff Performance Review Timing

In February 2019, the Performance Review Taskforce, comprised of staff from across campus divisions, began meeting to discuss performance reviews and the process at Lawrence.  The taskforce finalized their recommendations regarding format, frequency, and timing of our review cycle in April.    

Supported by the recommendation of the taskforce, the University will move the time of year in which performance reviews will be completed.  While the complete details are still being finalized, annual staff performance reviews will move to the late fall/early winter timeframe.

As we approach the end of the fiscal year, it remains a good time to reflect upon both successes and opportunities for growth.  This reflection may include completing a full performance evaluation, but please note that both a self and supervisor evaluation will be included in the new process later this year.  If needed, it may be advantageous to have an abbreviated performance discussion in lieu of completing a full performance evaluation this summer.

We look forward to sharing more information regarding the updated performance review process.  Your HR Representative would be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns as we navigate this change in process.
