New Employee Onboarding

Probationary Period and Evaluation

 

The Probation Period is a period characterized by ongoing communication and feedback between the new employee and their immediate Supervisor. This communication includes identifying areas in which the new employee would benefit from job related training. The Supervisor is expected to provide clearly communicated expectations to the new employee specific to job responsibilities, performance standards and workplace practices.

Probationary Evaluation

The performance evaluation is provided as an aid for employees to achieve and maintain high levels of work performance. The focus is based on a commitment to quality service and continuous improvement. The evaluation process has been designed to be used as a coaching mechanism for supervisors, and as a means for establishing mutually agreed upon performance goals and objectives for individual employees.

The evaluation process and form is intended to provide a method of measuring the employee’s performance based on the standards and requirements of the position as stated in the job description, as well as the performance goals and objectives that were set.

The evaluation form can be a valuable asset for supervisors to encourage employee development by setting specific goals and accomplishing objectives.

Please review the CSEA Revised Article 4 and be sure to comply with all requirements outlined therein.  A copy of the Performance Evaluation form is also included: CSEA Revised Article 4, Evaluations (January 2025)

In case of any additional questions or concerns regarding evaluations, please email PerformanceEvaluations@smc.edu.
