Components of the Evaluation Process
The performance evaluation process includes the following key components:
- Set Goals and Expectations
Employees and supervisors review goals, expectations, and the job description annually. Email Christie Peralta (cperal23@uw.edu) for the most recent job description the department has on file. - Continuous Feedback
Employees and supervisors meet regularly throughout the year to discuss progress and performance. - Written Evaluation
A written evaluation is provided to both Classified and Professional staff. - One‑on‑One Performance Evaluation Meeting
Supervisors are responsible for scheduling a meeting to review and discuss the written evaluation with the employee. - Signatures
Following the meeting, both the employee and supervisor sign the finalized written evaluation.
Expectations for Supervisors
Supervisors are expected to:
- Schedule time to meet with each employee for the evaluation discussion.
- Ask the employee whether they would like to provide names of individuals from whom the supervisor may solicit optional feedback.
- Complete the written evaluation and provide it to the employee at least one business day prior to the one‑on‑one meeting.
- If using the conversational approach, complete as much of the form as possible in advance and finalize it after the discussion.
- After the meeting, ensure the final evaluation is signed by both parties and returned to Christie Peralta (cperal23@uw.edu).
Important Reminder:
The formal performance evaluation meeting should never be the first time a performance concern is raised. Supervisors are responsible for addressing concerns in advance and supporting employee improvement throughout the year.
Expectations for Employees
Employees are expected to:
- Review their current job description to ensure it accurately reflects their responsibilities.
- Review performance goals and objectives from the previous period.
- Request a copy of your prior evaluation from your supervisor or Christie if needed.
- Be prepared to discuss overall performance from the past year.
- Reflect on accomplishments, special projects, and professional development goals for the coming year.
- Verify completion of required UW employee trainings.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
What if I already completed a training but can’t find documentation?
Some trainings (such as Asbestos Awareness) have been updated in recent years, and you may have completed them on a previous platform. We recommend first checking your email inbox for any completion confirmations or certificates.
If you are unable to locate your documentation, you will need to retake the training. If you do find proof of completion, please email a copy to Christie so it can be uploaded to your department personnel file.
