OVERVIEW

The results of the 2012 Staff Employee Satisfaction Survey shows us that staff employees are very happy with the Performance Review and the in-person meetings with their managers.  Managers are doing the right thing when they thoughtfully and honestly prepare a review for their staff employees.

Performance reviews are a means of formally documenting work performance and identifying ways each employee can contribute to the University's success as well as their own professional growth.  Tulane redesigned the staff performance review form in 2010 based on recommendations made by a cross section of staff members representing all campuses.  This new form was piloted among small groups the first two years and is now used for all staff performance reviews.

1.    Employee Results
The review tool is comprised of three sections:  1) Employee Results, 2) Tulane Values and 3) Growth.
The Employee Results rating is based on the work performance as related to the key responsibilities and performance standards outlined in the job description for that position.  Supervisors may also elect to measure Employee Results from goals that were established in the beginning of the rating period.

2.    Tulane Values
The Tulane Values rating is based on behavioral values that are important to carrying out the fundamental mission of the University.  Customer Focus, Initiative, Integrity & Trust, Positive Influence, Quality & Achievement Orientation, and Teamwork & Cooperation are the common values all staff members are evaluated upon.  In addition, managerial staff members are reviewed based upon the values of Empowerment, Performance Excellence and Performance Management.

3.    Growth
The Growth section addresses growth in skills/knowledge that the employee acquired over the past 12 months that enable him/her to contribute more to the University.  Growth is also measured by assessing the contribution in activities or responsibilities that the employee now performs that he/she was not required to perform 12 months ago.
