Performance management is an ongoing process. Throughout the year, managers are expected to engage with employees to establish goals, provide feedback, seek feedback, recognize excellent performance and work together to improve performance as necessary.
The university has defined the annual performance appraisal cycle as a focal point for documenting performance expectations, feedback, and development planning. Managers and employees have a shared responsibility in completing the appraisal, which is designed to capture the employee’s self-appraisal first and then feedback from the manager. The annual performance appraisal documents are available in BlueSky in mid-May; completed documents are to be submitted by September 1.
Note: If your hire date is from 3/16-6/30, your first performance appraisal will take place during the following performance cycle. Please remember to enter your goals in mybluesky.depaul.edu > Career and Performance tile > Goals tile.
