It's time for mid-year performance discussions

As a reminder, we have entered the development phase of ITS’s Performance Management cycle, which includes conducting a mid-year performance review. In addition, this year’s (FY21) rating and rewarding phase for M&P staff will be accellerated. The effective date for merit increases for eligible M&P staff will return to July 1.

Mid-year performance reviews for ITS M&P and C&T staff should be completed on or before Friday, February 5, 2021. M&P team members should use the ITS M&P Performance Management form, which includes a revision to the Diversity competency. C&T team members and their managers should use the C&T Performance Feedback form. 

For a mid-year feedback discussion to be constructive and meaningful, it should be actionable. You and your manager are encouraged to do the following during your discussion:

• Review specific goals and required competencies
• Recognize accomplishments to date and reinforce the path to achieving goals
• Discuss what is/isn’t working and what support/resources are needed to deliver expectations
• Where applicable, adjust goals based on changing priorities and circumstances
• Identify priorities for the rest of the year
• Identify and eliminate potential road blocks to achieving stated goals
• Identify development opportunities for the employee

Conducting a mid-year review allows you and your supervisor a formal opportunity to check in and provide meaningful feedback on your work and accomplishments to date. It also serves to develop and/or enhance working relationships and to contribute to your professional development.
