Self-Assessments: Reflect, celebrate, and keep your team on track
The year-end Performance Management process has officially begun. Encourage your team to reflect on their contributions through self-assessments, due by April 30 for M&P staff and by May 30 for C&T staff. Please ensure your team is aware of upcoming deadlines, has access to the right form and online resources, and knows you’re available along the way. Your Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) and the Performance Management web page have timelines, form templates, and additional guidance to keep things moving into goal-setting season.
