This is part of our ongoing effort to grow our impact, support staff development, and promote fairness and transparency. Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year in December and January, all staff will go through the process of self-evaluation and being evaluated by their manager on how well they met expectations around outcomes and core competencies for the previous year. These assessments will focus on the bigger picture of your performance\u2014the \u201cwhat\u201d (how successful you were at meeting your goals and what results you delivered) and the \u201chow\u201d (the skills, mindsets, and values you used to get there). They are an opportunity for self-reflection, feedback, and getting aligned with your manager on next steps and expectations for the coming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We hope this process will provide:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clarity about opportunities for development and advancement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An opportunity for managers and staff to deepen alignment around expectations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insight for leadership on how we\u2019re doing as a team towards meeting our organization\u2019s mission and goals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Specific deadlines will vary based on what works best for you and your manager, but here is the general timeline:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>December 15th: <\/em>Evaluation forms will be available to everyone. If you have any questions about the form, ask your manager or contact HR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>January 15:<\/em> Deadline for all evaluations (including self-evaluations). Managers should fill out their evaluations before reviewing self-evaluations. We also recommend setting aside ample time to get input from others to inform your evaluation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>January 31:<\/em> Deadline for holding evaluation discussion meetings and sending completed forms to HR.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other things to keep in mind:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you manage someone, your manager will reach out to your direct report(s) to get feedback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While we want to have things on paper, we want you to focus on the conversation. Use your evaluation discussion meeting to reflect, share feedback, and look ahead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since this is our first time rolling out this process, we anticipate that there might be some bumps along the way and we know we\u2019ll learn a lot from this process. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, you can direct them to your manager or get in touch with me directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Name]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em><strong>Learn how to activate your team\u2019s full potential<\/strong> by enrolling in our<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.managementcenter.org\/bundle\/?Course=Build%20Your%20Package&amp;Type=Component_Ace%20Performance%20Management&amp;templateid=136\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ace Performance Management<\/a> <em>training package!
