From Bob Meenan and Suzette Levenson, Dean’s Office

It’s time once again for annual staff performance evaluations. Performance evaluations enable supervisors to engage employees in a dialogue about how well the employee is performing his or her job duties and to discuss goals for the coming year. The process we follow was developed by the BU Office of Human Resources and is implemented annually for all BU employees. Evaluations are used by supervisors and departments to determine merit increases for each employee.

All full-time and part-time employees are to be evaluated. Temporary (casual) and student employees are not required to receive a formal evaluation, but a meeting discussing performance is encouraged.

While the most important component of this process is the dialogue between the supervisor and employee, there are two ways to conduct an evaluation:

ONE: The supervisor completes the evaluation form and then meets with the employee to discuss; or,

TWO: The employee completes the form as a self evaluation; the supervisor also completes the form; and, then the two meet to discuss both forms.
