Annual non-teaching employee performance evaluations for 2024-25 are now accessible to managers to complete the manager review step of the myPerformance evaluation cycle. Managers, go to myPerformance to access and complete performance evaluations for your non-teaching employees which are due by 11:59 p.m. Feb. 28.

Follow these steps to complete your evaluations for the 2024-25 review period which began March 1, 2024 and ends Feb. 28, 2025:

• Provide summary comments for expectations, competencies and goals
• Select rating for all competencies
• Progress through each page of the evaluation and select “Save” then “Submit” on the final summary page for the evaluation
• Meet with your employee(s) to review their evaluation and provide them with a copy

 Helpful hints:

• Managers have unlimited access to update and edit performance evaluations throughout the month of February.
• Evaluations must be saved and submitted to progress to the employee signature step on March 1. Employees will not have access to their evaluation if the manager has not submitted their review.
• Managers can add co-planners during this step. A co-planner is someone who has managed a portion of the employee’s work assignment during the evaluation period.
• To find in-progress or past evaluations in myPerformance, check the small box “Show completed and expired tasks” then click “Search.”

Note: End of year performance review conversations are also a great time to set expectations and goals for the new review period. The 2025-26 evaluations are now accessible to managers in myPerformance so you can discuss both the current end-of-review (2024-25 manager review) and the upcoming begin-of-review (2025-26 planning) at the same time, if desired.

Managers, it’s time to complete the mid-review step of the myPerformance evaluation cycle for your non-teaching employees. The mid-review step is your opportunity to do a formal progress check-in with your employees now that we’re halfway through the annual performance evaluation period that began March 1 and ends Feb. 28, 2025. Go to myPerformance to access and complete mid-reviews which should be completed by Sept. 30.

Follow these steps to complete mid-reviews for your non-teaching employees:

• Add comments regarding your employee’s performance and progress on their expectations and goals for the first half of the evaluation period
• Make any necessary updates to expectations and goals for the last half of the evaluation period
• Save and submit your updates
• Meet with your employees to review their progress, share any updated expectations and goals, and provide them with a copy

Helpful hints:

• Managers have unlimited access to update and edit content on evaluations in myPerformance until the employee self-evaluation step begins Jan. 1, 2025.
• Be sure to save and submit anytime you update or make changes to an evaluation. You still have access to make changes after you save and submit.
• Employees don’t have access to their 2024-25 myPerformance evaluation until the employee self-evaluation step which is why it’s important to review and provide a copy of their evaluation for reference throughout the year.
• Managers can add co-planners during this step. A co-planner is someone who has managed a portion of the employee’s work assignment during the evaluation period.
• To find in-progress or past evaluations in myPerformance, check the small box “Show completed and expired tasks” then click “Search.”

In partnership with ComPsych, join Kansas WISE from 2 to 3 p.m. Sept. 23 to discuss how to respectfully engage others to help them make change. How do you help someone who is stuck or ambivalent about making an important change? Do you give them advice, argue, or debate them to persuade them to make a change? Do you become frustrated when those strategies fail?
