The UCOP annual performance appraisal process – covering performance between April 1, 2018 and March 31, 2019 – will begin next Monday, March 11.

Our annual performance appraisal provides the opportunity for employees to reflect and receive feedback on accomplishments and areas needing improvement, as well as to set goals for the coming year. This process is an essential part of the work experience and gives all of us a role in our own job satisfaction and career development.

Ideally, employees and their managers discuss performance and career development throughout the year, and the appraisal process simply captures employees’ progress. The ultimate goal is that, at the end of the process, you will know where you stand and will receive guidance toward future success.

Our goal is to have this process support your success and development. Please help us achieve that goal by participating fully and letting us know how it is working for you.

Below are the key steps and dates for this year’s cycle. UCOP Human Resources has created guides for navigating each step of the process that can be found on the Learning Resources page.
