Performance Evaluation Toolkit

All employees to complete the 2023-2024 performance evaluation in PageUp

While Workday is launching for all employees effective January 1, all employees will complete their current performance evaluation in PageUp, due April 19, 2024. The new performance evaluation system in Workday will not launch until May 2024. More information and performance-specific training will be forthcoming in Winter 2024.


The Performance Evaluation System aims to be developmental and communicative in structure, as well as to encourage ongoing feedback throughout the review year. This system sends emails prompting actions throughout the year. Employees and supervisors have the ability to log ongoing feedback throughout the year for reference and linking to various steps during the review process.

If you have any questions, please reach out to GV Performance Management at [email protected].

Getting Started


Performance Management FAQ

When you are in either tab for goals or job responsibilities, you’ll select the “add” button for that particular section. Two options will be available to select from, and you'll want to select "add from previous review”. It will be the second option when you click the button. This will launch a pop up box, that allows you to review the items from the various sections of the prior year’s review and add them to the current year. The first option when clicking "add" allows you to add brand new items.

Connect with your supervisor. They have the ability to move your review back a step in the evaluation process. Refer to the Hiring Manager Guide: How to Move a Review Back One Step.

You will be able to modify goals during the initial stages of the review process. Once approved by your supervisor no further edits will be able to be made. You can utilize the comments sections during the review process to make note of any changes to goals or if a particular goal is no longer applicable. Goals will not be rated items during the review process.

Journal entries are private and only able to be viewed by the individual that created them. If you attach them to your review and publish, then your supervisor or employee will also be able to see them at that time. Journal entries do not need to be attached to a review and can be used to catalog ongoing feedback for reference when it's time to complete the review.

Tags provide the opportunity for employees and managers to organize their Journal entries. Any hashtag may be used, so you can define your own categories. As an employee you may want to use tags to help categorize feedback by a specific project, goal, or job responsibility. As a manager you may want to use tags for each employee if you have multiple direct reports. You can use multiple tags per Journal entry, if desired. You simply use the # symbol and add the category title next to it. Examples: #Project1, #KeyFunction, #Goal3

The evaluation periods are just periods in the system that don't require entry. The whole process is one evaluation period as you're typically used to, but the system processes require these holding periods. During those periods you'll work towards your goals/projects/job responsibilities/professional development and be able to capture feedback using Journal entries.

No, the only sections where ratings are required will be Job Knowledge & Responsibilities and University Competencies. Comments are highly encouraged for majority of the review sections and individual items, but are not required. The only required comment is the Manager's final comment and the system will notify you of that need before allowing you to advance the review at that point in the process.

While the system uses stars to indicate the rating received, these are not to be viewed as 2 out of 4 stars, etc. Each rating is individual and you should pay attention to the title of the rating and the detailed criteria assigned to that particular selection when indicating performance in the review system. The detailed rating scale is located on this Toolkit website.

Yes, the new ratings will be utilized for aligning performance with the salary increase program. The scale used will be different and correspond to the new rating system.

The system will have dates within the review cycle that will automatically advance them to the next stage. If a review has advanced beyond the one step supervisors are able to move it back you may contact Human Resources for additional assistance ([email protected]).

Only the supervisor listed in Banner will have access to control the supervisor role in the performance evaluation system. If there are multiple supervisors for an employee, both supervisors will need to collaborate during the review process to capture both sets of feedback. Multiple comments may be added to each review item, so the additional supervisor's feedback can be captured in their own comment with their name noted.

You can create a progress report at any point during the review cycle, however, this will be limited to the information that has been entered at that time.

Yes! This new system should run much more smoothly without timing out issues that caused lost work previously. The new system will also autosave as you are typing throughout the review process.

On the main portal of the performance system, go to About Me > Performance Reviews.

You’ll see the option to sort reviews by status. From the drop down you can select "All" or "Completed", then click "Search" to apply the filter, and your reviews will be displayed accordingly..

In line with the review on the far right, you’ll see another drop down that says “I want to…” and you can select view report. This will create a pop out window of your completed review.

Human Resources will automatically launch performance reviews in the current cycle through October 31st. After that date, reviews can be launched at the request of the supervisor. Please have your supervisor email [email protected] and request to have a review launched, if desired. Otherwise, probationary review forms should be utilized by your supervisor to capture performance progress and feedback.

The new employee core competencies are not rated and intended to be aspirational. These will not be utilized to directly impact your review rating and are intended to prompt individual growth and development to move all employees toward the same standard of expectations. Growth and development in these areas can be used at a high level to help inform an overall rating, but does not directly impact the overall rating through individual scoring.
