Performance Evaluations are an Excellent Time to Discuss and Plan Employee Goals for 2017-18
The 2017-18 performance year starts July 1. While finalizing 2016-17 appraisals and having conversations with employees, it is an ideal time to think about and plan goals for 2017-18.
Best practices in performance evaluations focus on the future and how outcomes and opportunities identified in one year lead to planning for the next year.
Encourage employees to discuss and begin drafting meaningful SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Timely) goals that align to work you expect to do in 2017-18. Read more about SMART goals here.
Remember to
refer to LIFT levels
as you set goals for the year, and access these r
esources for support:
Visit the
LIFT page in the Growth and Performance section
on The Commons for more information.

New Processes are in Place for Non-Employees
New processes are in effect now for setting up non-employees to receive systems access and/or to be fingerprinted by DPS. DPS managers who already supervise non-employees can now see those non-employees in their Manager Space in Infor HR. If you have new contractors or interns, you will no longer contact the Department of Technology Services (DoTS) Hotline to begin the process. Instead, you will follow the instructions described here.
Instructions for terminating or extending contractors and interns are also included in these instructions.
If you contact the DoTS Hotline, you will be referred to these documents. If you have questions after reviewing these instructions, please contact your HR partner. Starting Sept. 18, non-employee system accounts will automatically be disabled if they are not used for 100 days. Please tell your non-employees who have systems access that they need to use their accounts at least once every 100 days.
