Speak with your direct supervisor to confirm your probationary status. Review the probationary period policy for more information.

The self-evaluation is a fully electronic process that will become available in your GMS (workday) inbox (date to be announced). Employees will submit a self-evaluation first, which will be routed to their Manager who will conduct a Manager Evaluation. Then, these evaluations will be routed to the Manager’s Manager for approval. For a detailed explanation of this process, please attend our Performance Management: Self-Evaluations training.

After an employee completes their self-evaluation in GMS, it will route to the manager’s GMS inbox and generate an email notification to the manager.  The manager will then complete the manager evaluation in GMS. Annual Reviews are also routed to the manager’s manager for approval.  Once the manager’s manager approves the evaluation, the manager will release the evaluation to the employee and prepare for a one-on-one performance evaluation meeting with their employee.

Please contact your HR Business Partner (HRBP) to confirm you are eligible for this year’s performance review process.

Training is available (top of page) for all eligible employees to learn more about the process. Please email your HR Business Partner (HRBP) for support.
