From the Office of Human Resources…

Based on your feedback, we launched the new performance process in Endeavor in June. The streamlined process now has five steps instead of seven and focuses on regular coaching and feedback conversations throughout the year.

We want to highlight two features of this year’s process:

• When documenting one on one conversations, your division/college will provide guidance on how to capture the highlights of the discussion. The notes or attachment function in the performance tool are options, but shared Google documents and other solutions within Endeavor can be used.
• Although there are fewer steps in the process this year and the formal mid-year step has been removed, you still have the ability to edit expectations in step 3. Managers and employees should discuss any expectation changes during the year when having coaching conversations.

Expectations should be developed and finalized by the end of September. Managers and their direct reports should focus on having regular one on one coaching and feedback conversations throughout the year in order to identify progress, set accountability and provide ongoing feedback.

If you have any questions, please contact the askHR Customer Service Center at 1-5900 or askHR@nd.edu.
