Performance Management

Dear University of 杏吧原版 Staff and Supervisors,

With the start of the new calendar year, it is time to begin the staff performance evaluation process. Performance evaluations engage supervisors and 杏吧原版s to discuss expectations and provide coaching and support to align individual goals with their departments and the University of 杏吧原版. 

Job Duties and Job Competencies

Performance is based on two factors - job duties and job competencies. Both are critical to long-term 杏吧原版 effectiveness.

  1. Job Duties - WHAT the 杏吧原版 is hired to do

  2. Job Competencies - HOW effectively the 杏吧原版 completes the job duties.

Goal Setting, Performance Phase, and Review End Evaluation

There are three parts to performance evaluation.

  1. Discuss job duties, competencies and establish performance period goals.

  2. Meet and document mid-cycle conversations between supervisor and 杏吧原版 on goals and competencies.

  3. Assess performance and achievements. 

Staff evaluations are to be completed no later than June 30, 2020. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring evaluations are completed for their team members. It is UA鈥檚 goal that 100% of staff members receive an annual performance review.  

This year, there are several options for completing performance reviews:

Option One: myUA Dashboard Performance Review

While 鈥淧erformance Review - FY20鈥 was not centrally initiated for 杏吧原版s through myUA this year, 杏吧原版s still have the option to complete performance reviews through myUA. If you have supervisory responsibilities as part of your job duties, supervisors should select the 鈥淣EW Supervisor Performance Review鈥. Non-supervisors should select 鈥淣EW Non-supervisor Performance Review鈥. Please do not use an earlier (FY18, FY19) version. Those who have already started a review using an earlier version, please complete it. Once a review has been started, please follow the guide in myUA to complete the review process. 

Additional information is available at /myua/, under 鈥渕yUA Performance Module Training Materials鈥.

Option Two: Paper/PDF Performance Review

As an alternative to myUA, supervisors can complete paper or PDF performance reviews. Some departments currently have standard evaluation forms. Human Resources has provided one as well at /files/hr/performance_appraisal_form_ent.pdf. Please send the completed performance evaluation to your department HR Coordinator. If you do not have an HR coordinator or are unsure who your HR Coordinator is, please contact us at ua-hr@alaska.edu or 907-450-8200.  

Please contact ua-syhr@alaska.edu, 907-450-8214 if you are experiencing technical difficulties.

Sincerely,

Steve Patin, Chief Human Resources Officer
