💬 Tips for completing a self-evaluation
Click to expand
-
🕰 The performance period covers everything since the last Talent Assessment (so think last October – this October). For example, you can pull in content from the Mid-Year Check-In, Discretionary Bonus, Team Retrospectives, and manager 1:1 doc. -
📝 Performance factor worksheet- In your worksheet, include examples for each job responsibility. Add links to GitLab issues or other artefacts that can help support your examples. Instead of linking to Slack threads, take a screenshot and link it to the sheet.
- Include the "why" for your examples. Think: why is that a highlight for you and how does it tie in with your role, your goals or your personal growth areas?
- Remember that quality of examples is better than quantity.
- Optionally, you can check "Performance Factor" rating checkbox next to each row to highlight an achievement, strength, or opportunity.
- These checked items can be used to help streamline what you want to copy over to Workday (see below for details).
-
💾 Workday- You'll be asked to list 3 most recent, significant achievements aligned with the job responsibilities and expectations of the role. Don't worry about writing paragraphs of text in every single row. 2-3 strengths and 2-3 opportunities TOTAL with 2-3 examples each is sufficient. You should be able to reuse (aka copy/paste) from your worksheet.
- Functional Competencies as well as Manager and Leadership Competencies only apply to Staff+ roles.
