LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 24, 2013) ― University of Kentucky  staff employees can learn more about the new enhanced performance evaluation system during several upcoming information sessions. UK Training & Development has scheduled a series of events to offer an overview and demonstrations of the new evaluation process. The sessions will be held:

Changes to the performance evaluation system will affect staff evaluations university-wide for the current review period which ends Dec. 31, 2013. For UK HealthCare staff, the enhanced evaluation will apply to the current 2013-14 fiscal review period, which began July 1, 2013 and ends June 30, 2014

Upcoming changes reflect recommendations from a performance evaluation task force appointed by President Capilouto earlier this year. The task force’s overarching recommendations included:

 •expanding ongoing employee-supervisor communications,

 •reinforcing and supporting those behaviors and competencies that support and fulfill the university’s values and mission.

 •launching an online solution that advances these goals while also providing a platform for individual goal-setting, development and feedback.
