The 2025 annual staff performance review process will begin Monday, April 14. Please review the following for information on the timeline, merit process and online resources for conducting self and employee reviews. (Note that University Advancement employees and custodial employees have different timelines which will be communicated separately.)

The timing for this year's process is:

  • April 14 - May 2: Employees complete self-evaluations and the results section of the performance management form, send to their supervisor by May 2.
  • May 12 - 23: Merit documents sent to budget liaisons, senior leaders. Leaders should use performance management documentation to inform merit decisions.
  • May 19 - June 6: Supervisors conduct performance review meetings, submit written reviews to employees. Reviews completed, signed, and sent to HR by June 6.
  • May 27 - June 3: Vice presidents, deans, provosts review merit awards.
  • June 19 - 27: Once the Budget Office has communicated that the review of merit increases has been completed and approved, supervisors may communicate merit awards to employees.
  • July 1: Merit increases applied.

The annual performance review process is designed to support and develop employees by providing specific feedback on their goals and job responsibilities through both one-on-one conversations with their supervisor and a written review document.

Use the new Performance Management Form which was updated this year with the new Guided by Mission, Inspired to Change strategic themes. A complete guide to the performance management process, including tips and resources, and instructions is available on the Human Resources website.

The annual review process and conversation address not only the job content (the "what" of the role), but also how the work was accomplished. Providing employees with feedback on their job performance is critical in creating an engaged workforce that aligns with and delivers on the university's strategy and goals while exemplifying our mission.
