- May 22-31: Vice presidents, deans and provosts review merit awards.
- June 1: Reviews completed, signed, and sent to Human Resources.
- June 1-8: Merit awards are reviewed by Finance and HR.
- June 20-June 30: Supervisors communicate merit awards to employees once budget has communicated the review of merit increases is complete.
- July 1: Merit increases applied.
The annual performance review process is designed to support and develop employees by providing specific feedback on their goals and job responsibilities through both one-on-one conversations with their supervisor and a written review document.
Use the Performance Management Form and follow these instructions. A complete guide to the performance management process, including tips and resources, is available on the Human Resources website.
Employees are asked to please complete the following required fields on the Performance Management Form:
- First column – Theme or department goal: If not already documented, provide a Beyond Boundaries theme or a department goal that your individual goal or job duties align to.
- Second column – Goals (list in priority order): Identify the specific goal and/or job responsibility that relates to the theme or department goal.
- Fourth column – End-of-year self-evaluation: Identify and describe the outcomes and accomplishments related to each goal and/or job responsibility.
- Last row of the grid: Describe what you have done this year to demonstrate Marquette’s mission and values.
Employees may also complete this optional field:
- Overall summary
The annual review process and conversation address not only the job content (the “what” of the role), but also how the work was accomplished. Providing employees with feedback on their job performance is critical in creating an engaged workforce that aligns with and delivers on the university’s strategy and goals while exemplifying our mission.
HR is offering special training programs to assist with the performance review process. Please use the code “GROW” when registering.
