The staff appraisal process is an on-going communications process that begins with the identification of performance goals by the supervisor in the fall. During the spring semester, a formal appraisal is conducted between the staff member and supervisor, which provides an overall evaluation of the staff member s work performance and the opportunity for the staff member and supervisor to discuss work performance in terms of work performance expectations, goals, and responsibilities. Ratings The Staff Performance Appraisal Form represents a combination of a narrative assessment which highlights strengths and opportunities for improvement, combined with the following rating system: Exceeds Expectations Meets Expectations Improvement Needed Exceeds Expectations is considered excellent and should be marked when (1) all expectations related to a category are met and exceeded, (2) evidence exists of multiple accomplishments in fulfilling goals, and (3) multiple examples exist of taking the initiative or demonstrating innovation needed to advance the program/department. Any ratings in this category should be explained in the narrative boxes provided below the categories. Meets Expectations is considered good and should be marked when (1) all expectations related to a category are met and (2) evidence exists of progress made on all goals. Improvement Needed is given when performance is deficient, including (1) not fulfilling one or more expectations related to a category and (2) little evidence of progress made in completing goals. Any ratings in this category should be explained in the narrative boxes provided below the categories. At the time of appraisal, the supervisor and staff member should review the staff member s job description. If discrepancies are found, they should be turned into HR with the appraisal forms. If there are no discrepancies found, the staff member should sign and date the copy of the job description indicating that it is accurate. STAFF APPRAISAL FORM 2014 PAGE 1
