Merit 2017-18

Typical Merit Calculation Merit Pool from Legislature ----------------------------------------- Number of merit steps Average Merit Step = 2.5

Successful Recognition People drive business; emotions drive people Validation increases engagement The most powerful validation of our work is being recognized for progress toward a meaningful goal Good leaders connect emotionally with employees and boost engagement

Recognition -Thanks for getting the project done - Proud to work with you - Where are you on the …..? My boss asked about project X I appreciate the effort you put in on ….. I heard from Bob about the great job you did. Keep the recognition fresh and unexpected!

“THE FORM” & “THE PROCESS” 1. Faculty member completes self-evaluation. 2. Supervisor completes evaluation and signs the cover page. 3. Employee signs cover page upon receipt of evaluation from supervisor. A copy of the evaluation is kept by the faculty member.

“THE FORM” & “THE PROCESS” 4. The evaluation form is forwarded to upper management for additional signatures and approval. 5. The Dean/VP assigns merit and signs 6. A copy of the cover page with all signatures is given to the employee. If there were changes to the narrative of the evaluation by upper level management, the employee should receive a copy of the updated evaluation.

The “form” does not make the evaluation Good communication does!

Thank you!
