To assist you in evaluating your employee in an objective manner and to be compliant with The Texas A&M University System Regulation 33.99.03, we have established a number of training sessions for your convenience. All new supervisors, and those in need of a performance evaluation refresher, must attend one of the trainings. The purpose of the evaluation is to inform each employee of the quality of his/her work, to identify those areas needing improvement, and to set specific objectives for the employee. In your position as a supervisor, this process will assist you in evaluating your workforce, identifying employee potential, and establishing priorities for training, education, and reward. Performance evaluations for non-faculty employees will encompass the period beginning January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2015. The deadline for the submission of completed forms to your respective vice president is March 7, 2016. Performance Evaluation Form, with all required signatures is due to the Office of Human Resources no later than April 11, 2016. It is highly recommended that we adhere to the aforementioned deadlines. In addition, all position descriptions must be modified in the PVTALENT System to reflect the employee’s current job responsibilities and must be discussed with your employee during the performance evaluation review.
