Evaluations
The Difference Between Ordinary and Extraordinary is that Little Extra
We firmly believe the growth and development of all our employees will positively impact our students’ and organizational success. To help develop our employee’s knowledge, skills and abilities, we offer a series of talent management programs and tools to prompt rich, ongoing discussions between supervisors and employees, including helpful feedback designed to improve performance and celebrate accomplishments.
Evaluation Process
The following information will walk you through the year-round evaluation process for classified, administrative (non-building), professional and technical employees. This evaluation process takes place in Workday.
Goal Setting
If an employee is setting goals:
- Go to the employee's home page
- Go to your "Top Apps" and select "View all Apps"
- Select the "Performance" worklet
- Select "My Goals" under view
- Select "Edit Goal for Current Year"
- Select "Create Goal" or "Archive or Unarchive Goals"
- Enter the goal
- Enter the status
- Enter the due date
- Submit
If a manager is entering goals for employees:
- Go to your "Top Apps" and select "View all Apps"
- Select "My Team" from the Workday home page
- On the "Actions" column select "More"
- Select "Add Goal to Employees"
- Select "Employee"
- Select "Okay"
- Enter "Goal" and "Due Date"
- Select "Add" for additional goals
- Select "Submit" when complete
Mid-year Review
Our goal in this process is for employees and their evaluators to be in continual contact about their performance. Mid-year evaluations provide an opportunity for employees to get some formal feedback and guidance to ensure they reach goals and performance expectations by the end of the school year and final evaluations.
Mid-Year evaluations are optional. Managers may choose to go through the formal mid-year process or may provide informal feedback to employees throughout the school year. The end goal is to ensure that employees know where they stand, so final evaluation ratings are not a surprise. Managers meet with their employees to review current performance and goal status. Once the meeting is complete, the manager will follow the steps below in Workday.
Instructions:
- From Workday home screen select "Menu"
- Scroll down to "Team Performance"
- Select "Performance Review"
- Select "My Team" under the Employee drop down menu
- Select the employee name
- Select "Performance Review" under the Review Template drop down menu
- Select "Mid-Year Evaluation" template
- Enter the overall rating and comments
- Hit "Submit"
Note that if you have not completed your Goal(s)/Individual Development Plan, the goals will not appear on the mid-year evaluation template.
Final Evaluation
The final evaluation template will be launched to the employee's Workday inbox.
Managers, work with your employees and let them know when you want their self-evaluations completed and submitted to you, so that you will have sufficient time to complete your portion of the process.
