In accordance with The Texas A&M University System Regulation 33.99.03, the performance of each staff member must be evaluated annually. The purpose of employee performance evaluations is to inform employees of the quality of their work, to identify those areas needing improvement, to set specific objectives for employees, and to provide employees with an opportunity to discuss their career goals and the support they need to meet those goals. Performance evaluations also assist department heads and managers in evaluating their work force, identifying employee potential, and establishing priorities for training, education and reward. Additionally budget guidelines require that each request for a merit increase or promotion be based on a performance review conducted within the six months prior to the request.

An employee Performance Evaluation Form has been developed for use in appraising the performance of TTI staff. A link to this form can be found on the TTI intranet. The Management Evaluation section of the form should not be completed for employees who do not have management responsibilities.

The importance of an accurate, thorough evaluation cannot be overemphasized. The inclination by some supervisors to conduct a cursory evaluation can lead to future problems for those supervisors. Every effort should be made to ensure that a constructive evaluation is conducted for each individual.

The budget process requires that a "current" satisfactory evaluation be on file for any employee recommended for a promotion, merit increase, or equity adjustment during the annual budget process. "Current" is defined as completed during the six months prior to the budget cycle.

All budgeted non-student employees who have been employed for a period of at least four months also receive a performance evaluation. If an employee has been employed for less than four months a written evaluation should be completed during his/her fourth month of employment. When the form is completed for each employee, signatures should be secured from the appropriate parties (employee and immediate supervisor). A copy of the completed form should be given to the employee and the original forwarded to the TTI Human Resources Office for inclusion in the employee's personnel file.
