NEW myPerformance Manager Forms!

Starting in FY22, myPerformance manager Midyear and Annual Review forms have a new Employee Development section. This section focuses on the leadership competency Developing Others and Coaching and is designed to evaluate managers on how well they support the development of the employees they manage. 

Please note: Performance forms for employees who do not manage others will remain the same.
This competency was added to help: 

  • Support the institution’s ability to attract, support, develop and retain staff
  • Increase the number of staff who participate in professional development
  • Highlight a key element of the myPerformance process
  • Fulfill expectations for supervisor/manager/leader roles

Goal Setting
At the beginning of each review cycle, all employees should set performance goals/major responsibilities and professional development goals.

The FY Goal Plan is used for performance goals/major responsibilities and the FY Professional Development Plan is used for development goals.  Goals automatically transfer to the FY Midyear and Annual Review forms when available.

How can I prepare for the annual review meeting?

Both the employee and manager should consider these questions:

  • What went well and what outcomes/milestones were achieved?
  • What is not working?
  • Is your perspective the same as your employee's/supervisor's?
  • Were development goals completed? Were new skills and competencies developed or skill gaps closed?

What are the steps of the Annual Review?

  1. Employee enters comments and rating in myPerformance and clicks Share with Manager.
  2. Manager meets with employee.
  3. Manager finalizes comments/rating and clicks Send to Employee for Review and Signature.
  4. Employee reviews manager’s comments/rating and electronically signs form.
  5. Manager adds electronic signature and form is complete.


For process and technical questions, please email your SuccessFactors/HR rep or Anne Moore at amoore@jhu.edu.
