Performance appraisal meetings are right around the corner. Don’t just be a “receiver” of your
appraisal. Instead, learn about ways to be an active participant in this process. In this workshop, we will
cover how to explain your view of your performance through your self-appraisal, how to prepare for your
performance review meeting, and tips for receiving feedback. We will also discuss how to navigate any
potentially awkward moments. Whether you have received performance appraisals for years or are new
to the process, all are encouraged to join in the discussion. This workshop is intended for University
staff.
Navigating the Online Performance Management System

Management System. We will cover the performance appraisal process and workflow, how to use the
Progress Notes feature, how to locate your previous year’s review, and more. Computers will be
available for you to follow along. This workshop is intended for new University staff and anyone who
would like a “refresher course” on the online system.
