RE: 2021-22 Annual Staff Performance Management, Merit and Promotion Processes
As the 2021-2022 performance management and merit process continues, employees and managers should review and update goal progress through March 1.
The annual performance evaluation records an employee’s fulfillment of key goals and university-wide competencies. Each staff member will complete their performance self-assessment by March 15, and supervisors will evaluate the performance of their direct reports from March 16 to April 8.
Visit the performance management website to view the complete timeline, along with helpful resources for supervisors and employees.
During a time when many of our colleagues continue to work a remote or hybrid schedule, supervisors must make a point to communicate regularly to celebrate successes, encourage performance improvement and understand the specific development needs of each staff member. This is the time to engage staff in a discussion to optimize job performance and heighten job satisfaction. This year’s annual performance evaluation conversation is also an ideal time for supervisors to check-in on how their work location (remote, hybrid, on-site) has been working and if any changes are anticipated or desired.
Your HR business partner will provide regular performance management updates to help your unit attain a 100 percent annual review completion rate. You can access your unit's 2021-22 annual evaluation reports via the SuccessFactors home page.
Those directly involved in the merit process (such as individuals assigned as compensation managers, directors of financial affairs or financial managers) will receive additional communications regarding the training resources available and the performance and merit timeline. The official merit increase policy will be distributed along with budget materials by early April. No material policy changes are planned for the July 1, 2022 merit cycle; the guidelines, process and overall timeline will remain largely unchanged from prior merit cycles.
Please also note that promotion review templates for July 1 promotions must be submitted to Human Resources by March 31. More information on promotion criteria is available at https://www.purdue.edu/hr/mngcareer/compguidelines/stproinc.php.
Thank you for your continued support of Purdue’s performance management, merit and promotion processes.
