It’s that time again. Time to start thinking about your performance review for the 2012–13 performance period.

Whether you’re an employee receiving a review or a supervisor writing multiple reviews, UCOP HR Learning and Development is offering courses that provide skills and resources for making the most of the performance review process.

The Performance Management Series offers several half-day workshops that cover the full range of skills managers and supervisors need to maximize the potential of their teams. Classes are coming up in July and August as follows:
