• Goal Setting & Comments - You will have the opportunity to set goals for FY23. These goals are to be discussed with your supervisor during your PEP meeting. Supervisors can provide commentary on the goals. 

• Supervisor HOLD TO MEET - Supervisors will ”Submit” their completed version of the evaluation until they have scheduled and met with their employees. You will have to go back and click submit again after you have met with your employee(s). Once the second SUBMIT is clicked, the evaluation is routed to the employee(s) for their review and acknowledgment. 

• Employee Acknowledgement - Your direct reports will complete the PEP process by signing off on their evaluation. The PEP is not complete until this step is completed. 

• Open Information Sessions- Staff Professional Development and Evaluations (PDE) will be available weekly for open information sessions to address questions about the new PEP process in Workday. Please see the schedule below. 

• Resources for “A Successful Evaluation”- PDE has curated LinkedIn training resources to help you and your employees have a successful evaluation.
