Performance Management Training and Conversation Coaching

University of Alaska staff and supervisors are encouraged to begin the staff performance evaluation process. Performance evaluations are designed to engage supervisors and employees about performance expectations and to provide coaching and support to align with both individual and departmental goals in concert with the University of Alaska mission.

There are two options for completing performance reviews. The first option is to use the myÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å dashboard performance review. As an alternative to myÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å, supervisors can complete paper or PDF performance reviews. Some departments currently have standard evaluation forms. Human Resources has also provided a performance appraisal form (PDF). 

The ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å Human Resources team is providing Performance Management Tool and Best Practices learning sessions. Labor and employee engagement specialist Kelley Lassey will be facilitating several sessions from November 2020 tp June 2021. Please register through the myÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å employee services dashboard learning library to attend training via Zoom and to receive credit for the training. Training information will be sent to registrants two days prior to each training date.
