Annual Reviews
The performance year runs April 1 to March 31 for Support Staff, and July 1 to June 30 for MaPS
Annual reviews provide a valuable opportunity to create a formal record of all the hard work and achievements over the past year, explore development opportunities, and summarize the insights gained through your one-on-one meetings.


The 2024-25 Annual Review Season for Support Staff is Underway
Managers should review the goals/expectations for each of their direct reports and then launch the final assessment. Giving ample time for employees to complete their self-assessments makes it easier to respond with meaningful feedback.
*All outstanding reviews will be launched automatically on Feb. 3
Go to: My work > People Management > Manager Self-Service > Performance Management > Performance Documents > Current Documents > Select an employee > Launch Final Assessment.
After review documents have been launched by the manager, employees can complete their online self-assessment. This is an opportunity to reflect on a year of hard work and consider successes and opportunities across goals and core competencies. It’s also a chance to think about the career development activities you’d like to plan for the coming year.

Managers lead one-on-one annual review meetings to exchange feedback, discuss accomplishments, and plan opportunities for development.
After finalizing comments and ratings, managers click "Share with Employee." Once shared, employees can review and acknowledge the completed assessment. The review process won’t be complete until the employee acknowledges the manager assessment on my.ucalgary.ca.

In keeping with our streamlined approach to ratings, please note employees are asked to assess their performance with a status in the Record Goals and Achievements stage such as “Complete”, “In Progress” or “On Hold”. Managers will provide an overall numeric performance rating. Employees will then have the opportunity to comment once the Manager Assessment has been shared with them.

Competencies
While goals and expectations cover “what” needs to be accomplished, competencies cover “how” to accomplish those goals — the behaviours you require to get things done effectively.
Rating Scales
Rating scales are used by managers to assess performance. There are separate rating scales for Management and Professional Staff and Support Staff.
