Performance Evaluation

Overview

Performance evaluation is a necessary and beneficial process, which provides annual feedback to staff members about job effectiveness and career guidance. The performance review is intended to be a fair and balanced assessment of an employee’s performance. To assist supervisors and department heads in conducting performance reviews, the HR-Knoxville Office has introduced new Performance Review forms and procedures for use in Knoxville.

A Performance Review Summary Form will be completed for all staff employees according to the Performance Review Instruction Form and forwarded to the Human Resources Office. The Performance Review Summary Form is available in the following formats for your convenience:

The Performance Review Summary Form is designed to record the results of the employee’s annual evaluation. During the performance review meeting with the employee, use the Performance Review Summary Form to record an overall evaluation in:

  • accomplishments
  • service and relationships
  • dependability
  • adaptability and flexibility
  • and decision making or problem solving.

Submit the completed Performance Review Summary Form (and any requested back-up documentation needed to support the final evaluation) to:
