2022-2023 Performance Evaluations for University Staff and 12-Month Faculty* due to SEHD HR July 21, 2023

Dear staff and supervisors who complete staff performance evaluations: The current performance evaluation period for university staff and 12-month faculty ends June 30, 2023. Please begin summarizing your thoughts and scheduling your evaluation meetings as needed between now and mid-July.  

Timeline 

Please return your completed evaluation(s) by Friday, 7/21/23. This will allow SEHD HR time to compile the information and move the data into the required reports in time for our deadline to campus administration on the 31st.  If you need a copy of any recent performance planning form, just let us know: sehdhr@ucdenver.edu. Thank you for your partnership in meeting this timeline – we appreciate it!  

*9-month faculty evaluation details and timeline will be announced separately. 

Format 

As you may know, Campus HR has created a new tool for performance evaluation that we will be adopting for the upcoming performance period. It is an excel file that can be shared, signed with a simple typed signature, and optionally used all year long to track progress toward goals. It is quite different from the multiple word documents we were using in recent years, and we hope you find it supportive in spite of the learning curve. Not all of the tabs are required, and there is a little flexibility in how we interpret the document, so we have created an SEHD version of the original excel file. Please take a look at it here and save a copy for yourself: https://wiki.cu.studio/human/reference-documents#performance_management. 

For the evaluation period ending 06/30/2023, supervisors are welcome to decide whether to complete the word doc process as before or migrate over to the excel tool; your choice. So far about 12% of us are using the new tool already and everyone’s feedback has been appreciated. 

Please plan to use this new tool to capture your goals and expectations for the period of 7/1/2023 – 6/30/2024.
