The Performance Management process facilitates both the growth and development of employees and the achievement of university goals. It is a continuous process shared by the employee and his/her immediate manager, beginning during probation and continuing throughout employment.
The Performance Management system is designed to encourage continuous professional growth, stimulate improvement where the employee is not meeting expectations and should include both verbal and written two-way communication.
A performance evaluation is a formal opportunity to review the employee’s progress during the year and to set goals for the next period. Managers provide Performance Evaluations for direct reports at least annually, and more often for new or probationary employees. It is the responsibility of each supervisor to be consistent in the application of performance evaluation practices. Performance evaluations are based on observable, and when appropriate, measurable outcomes.
Submissions of final evaluations require signatures through AdobeSign* before emailing to Human Resources at PerfEval@csumb.edu.
If you have any questions or need accommodations, please contact Melanie Chavez.
