Importance of Performance Assessment

At TSTC, our performance assessment process has two main goals:

  1. To ensure managers clearly communicate expectations and provide guidance so employees fully understand their role and responsibilities.

  2. To give teammates the opportunity to address any challenges and grow in their role within an agreed-upon timeframe.

Our reviews aren’t just about assessing performance—they’re about making sure everyone has the tools and support they need to succeed. Every TSTC teammate will receive an annual performance assessment through Workday, standardized across the college to reflect each level—whether leadership, faculty, or staff.

All teammates who have completed at least 90 days of service are eligible for inclusion in the annual or mid-cycle review. To be eligible for merit, teammates must have been in their role for at least 1 year. These reviews focus on core competencies such as performance, conduct, ownership, and teamwork. For faculty, specific elements tailored to their roles are included to ensure the process aligns with their unique responsibilities. 


Frequently Asked Questions

Is the employee required to complete a self-assessment?

No, while completing the self-assessment is a valuable step in the performance assessment process, the employee is not required to complete the self-assessment.

What is the overall timeline for the process?

Please check the Timeline section above for start and end dates.

Is there a quota for each rating?

There are no quotas for how many teammates should fall into each performance category. 

Are assessments only for teammates who have been here 1 year?

Teammates who have completed at least 90 days of service will be included in the annual performance assessment.  Teammates must have completed at least 1 year in their role to be considered eligible for merit.

Are performance assessments associated with merit increases?

Performance assessments may influence merit increases, along with other factors such as company outcomes, functional contributions, and personal achievements. Merit decisions are separate from the performance evaluation process, encompassing broader considerations within departments.

What time periods of performance does the 2025 performance assessment cover?

All employees hired between June 1, 2025 - August 31, 2025.

When do I meet with my teammate ? 

Once your manager has reviewed and approved your submission in Workday, it's the right time to meet with your teammate for a one-on-one discussion.
