Annual performance evaluations are a key part of performance management for officers of administration. 

Unit HR partners: Please make sure to record completed OA reviews in Banner each year.

Performance Evaluation Reminders:
  • Clearly identify the dates of the review period on the evaluation form. The review should cover performance only during that period.
  • There should be no connection between an employee’s performance evaluation and protected activities such as ADA accommodation, FMLA/OFLA, parental leave, grievances, etc.
    • Example #1: An employee was out for 2 months on FMLA during the review period. Their absence should not affect their evaluation.
    • Example #2: An employee filed a grievance during the review period that led to stress in the department. This should not affect their performance evaluation.
  • Supervisors may use third-party feedback to inform OA performance evaluations. Please use the Third Party Input form and the Waiver of Access form.
  • If you would like to make any changes to the performance evaluation form, please get them approved by Employee and Labor Relations.
  • If you use the structured approach, or another HR-approved quantitative rating system, make sure the numeric ratings and the narrative align.  For example, don't give a low rating, but then indicate in text that the OA is doing a great job in this area.
  • Performance evaluation feedback should not be a surprise to the OA—make sure you're engaging in effective performance management throughout the year.
  • Retain a copy of the review in the unit’s personnel file as required based on the applicable retention schedule.
  • Record completed reviews in Banner. Supervisors, make sure your unit HR staff know that you have completed the reviews so they can take this important step.
