EWP: Identify Special Assignments

21. Special Assignments 22. Measures

• Identify at the beginning of performance cycle;

• During the cycle, use judgment to determine whether the special assignment is time consuming or significant enough to be documented within the EWP.

• Review special assignments with employees and agree to the required time and resources and also agree how the assignment will impact regular job responsibilities.

EWP: Outlining Performance Measures

• Describes factors that all expected while performing all core responsibilities

• Can be evaluated through comments

• Can be considered when deciding overall rating

• Add factors specifically relevant to your area and current University values/Mission.

EWP: Employee Development

• Develop Personal Learning Goals with each employee

• Link development activities to business needs and desired outcomes

• Encourage learning and personal growth

• Consider how the employee development could lead to higher level duties for the employee (potential In-Band Adjustment for the employee)

Ask yourselves…

• Does the employee have the resources needed to succeed?

– Time– Training– Money

•Can the supervisor provide the necessary resources?

• Can the two of you prioritize what goals could be accomplished this year, and which ones next year?

Employee Development can happen in a variety of ways-

– On-the-job learning- assign the employee on a project that is outside of his/her area of expertise to develop knowledge in that new area (cross-training)

– Assign the employee as a task lead for a project so that the employee can develop his/her leadership skills

– Help employee take advantage of Employee Development courses offered by UMW Human Resources

– Look into courses offered through the State (i.e.. VCU Office of Public Policy)

– Certificates and Licenses and course requirements– Educational Aid for college courses
