Please read the below notice from Carolyn Brownawell, issued on 1\/11\/2021, for CU Denver Campus — Guidance on Annual University Staff Evaluations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This communication provides campus level guidance on annual University staff evaluations for 2020. Please share this information with supervisors and managers in your unit who have accountability for completing staff evaluations, as appropriate in your school\/college or administrative unit.<\/p>\n

Pandemic Impact Acknowledgement<\/strong>
\nThe necessary campus response to the pandemic emergency has led to significant changes in how staff and administration are carrying out their various roles. Much of this has led to temporary shifts and changes to how activities are being performed. The impacts to staff have included a rapid response to designing and delivering support and services in alternative formats, working off-site, changes in programs and policies, shifts in leadership activities, and adjusting when and how work is being done to comply with public health directives, etc.<\/p>\n

Staff have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the wellbeing and continued success of the campuses, while continuing to advance and adapt their work, leadership, and service.<\/p>\n

Compensation Considerations<\/strong>
\nDue to the economic impact, there was not a compensation pool this year.\u00a0However, there is ongoing exploration of a potential compensation pool for the FY 21-22 year. This should be taken into account in the context of the current evaluation discussions.<\/p>\n

Policy Context<\/strong>
\nRegent Policy 6 as well as in APS 5009 are relevant to university staff evaluations. In short, University policy requires that staff be evaluated on an annual basis. The evaluation is to be based on criteria in the University Staff Performance Evaluation Form, or other relevant criteria as established and communicated within the unit. The public document created from the evaluation process is the 5-point (5-1) summary rating using the Annual Performance Rating Form. Managers should utilize latitude in the interpretation of the evaluation criteria this year and recognize that staff responded to the pandemic in novel and unanticipated ways. For example, spending more time on adjusting policies and procedures in response to the COVID pandemic and consequently having less time for work on program goals established for 2020.<\/p>\n
