EMPLOYEE EVALUATIONS

OVERVIEW

The purposes of employee performance evaluations are to promote communication and provide useful feedback about an employee's job performance, faciliate working relationships, provide a historical record of performance, and to contribute to professional development.

PROCEDURE & BEST PRACTICES

In order for performance evaluations to be meaningful, administrators should:

• maintain thorough and accurate documentation

• avoid surprises. The perforamnce evaluation should not contain "new" information.  In other words, the evaluation should not be the first instance in which a performance deficiency is addressed. 

HCPS utilizes the Unified Talent Perform system to docuement the performance evaluation process.  

Administrators should contact the appropriate HR Specialist for guidance regarding employee performance concerns.
