2. The Six Process Steps for ePerformance
Step 1: Notification
Step 2: Preparation
Step 3: Gather and Review Information
Step 4: Complete the Review
Step 5: Approvals
Step 6: Conduct the Review Meeting

3. Step 1: Notification
You will receive an and alert in My HUB 45 days prior to the review due date.

4. Step 2: Preparation
You will need to validate your staff member’s job description online through My HUB. Contact HR if changes/updates are needed. HR is still working closely with compensation to make necessary changes to current job descriptions.

5. Step 2: Preparation
Job responsibilities will pull into your review (you can add/edit). Then you will need to add goals that were established from the prior year.
Success Tip! You will now be working in a system that times out instead of a Word or Excel document so remember to save information often!

6. Step 3: Gather and Review Information
Starting this year you are creating history in a system and next year the review you are completing now will be at your fingertips!

7. Step 3: Gather and Review Information
A few things to consider about the self-review (optional):
Once the document is ready, the employee will receive an and My HUB alert that their self-review is available for completion.
The structure and format of the self-review will be the same as the review you see online for your staff member.
As you are completing the staff member’s review you will be able to view or pull in comments from the staff member’s self-review document.
Success Tip! The self-review is not a required component. If you have not had staff complete this process in the past you are not required to add it.

8. Step 3: Gather and Review Information
Now you can nominate “peers” and “delegates” to offer comments or ratings on the same document you are completing.

9. Step 3: Gather and Review Information
What is a Peer vs. a Delegate?
A peer can offer ratings and comments on the Job Responsibilities and System-wide Competencies and Behaviors section of your staff members review.
A delegate, in addition to rating your staff member on Job Responsibilities and System-wide Competencies and Behaviors sections can also rate your staff member on Goals. This may be a good option if you are having a co-manager also rate your staff member.
The structure and format of the peer/delegate review will be the same as the review you see online for your staff member.
Success Tip! Peer and delegate reviews are not a required component. If you have not used this process in the past you are not required to add it.

10. Step 3: Gather and Review Information
Throughout the review period you will be able to add notes right online. You will also be able to review these notes while completing the review and pull them into the review document.

11. Step 4: Complete the Review
Below is the new Performance Ratings that will be available to you:
There are no longer numbers associated with the rating descriptions. There will be description definitions to help you make your selection in the system. While comments have always been encouraged the new system will require comments for all ratings, except Solid/Strong/Good Performer.

12. Step 4: Complete the Review
Weighting will still be an option for you. You will need to ensure if you decide to use this that your entries total 100%.
Success Tip! It is not required that you assign weighting to items. If you leave each item weighted as zero then all items will be weighted equally.

13. Step 4: Complete the Review
Now goals for the next review period will be entered online and will carry forward to the next review.
NEW! All staff need a goal to work toward. Goal setting helps you as a manager ensure engagement and productivity. In the new system, it will now be required that all staff have at least one goal set for them in the year to come.

14. Step 5: Approvals
You will still be processing the final review rating online and that part of the process will look familiar. However, now the whole document (review and merit) will be ready for approval.
Once the final approver approves the review the manager will receive notification.
By default the review will only be visible to those in the approval process at the time they are to review and approve the document. However, either the manager or approver can click ‘Forward Review’ on the review document to send a view-only version of the review to someone else within the employee’s reporting structure.
The approver can see all components on the review and can make comments too!

15. Step 6: Conduct the Review Meeting
You will still have the ability to print the performance review to review with your staff member. You may also choose not to print and review it with your staff member online. The important thing is that a meaningful discussion take place. After the meeting occurs, you must click “review held”.
Now you will both acknowledge the review online.
After the review is acknowledged you will need to Click ‘Complete’.
The document is finalized and the merit is automatically submitted for processing into HR system.
The staff member will need to sign into My HUB separately from you to acknowledge their review.
