Employee performance review is a continual process that takes place regularly with a supervisor's frequent, informal assessments of and conversations about an employee's work performance. On an annual basis, supervisors are expected to conduct a formal meeting with an employee that will most often summarize and/or highlight performance accomplishments, areas for improvement, and goals for the coming year.
The formal performance review gives a supervisor the opportunity to review and discuss an employee's performance of the duties as outlined in the job description, to evaluate whether previously-set goals have been met and past deficiencies have been corrected, and to set new goals for the coming year.
The Ithaca College policy manual contains a full description of the College’s formal Employee Performance Review Program.
