Budget & Operations: Staff Performance Reviews

Reminder:

The deadline for PLAnet Spider Staff Performance Reviews is May 26, 2011. Please see details below.

As promised here is a list of instructions to help make the staff evaluation process as simple as possible.

1. Review the attached listing of staff members and supervisors and make sure everyone you supervise is assigned to you on that list. If there are any errors or omissions let me know immediately.
2. Talk with the staff you supervise and make sure they have entered their goals into PLAnet Spider. I encourage you to share this email with your staff.
3. Login on to PLAnet Spider https://richmond.learn.com.
4. Once you have completed the login process and you are redirected to the PLAnet Spider page, select Supervisor Tools from toolbar on the left side of the page.
5. The page will reload and you can select the Supervisor Control Panel link in the middle of the page.
6. You will see the list of individuals you supervise. If this list has any errors or omissions let me know immediately.
7. Next click on the crayon on the right side of the page that corresponds to the staff member you want to evaluate.
8. You will be sent to a page that has the individual's goals for 2011. You will need to complete a supervisor comment and rating for each goal; if you completed a developmental review at mid-year you will already have comments. You can just add to those comments. I strongly suggest that you write your comments in a Word document and use copy and paste to complete this part of the form. When you are done remember to hit the SAVE button.
9. Schedule a meeting with your staff member to discuss your review. You may want to meet with your staff member before your write your comments and do your ratings. You will know the best approach in each situation. Once you have made any additional edits it is necessary for the staff member to sign off on the review at the bottom of the page and for the staff member to click the SUBMIT button.
10. Finally print a copy of the completed performance review and send it to Terri Weaver through campus mail. I was able to print the entire form using Firefox on a Mac. In the past there have been printing problems. I encourage you to test things out so that you don’t lose any of your work.

Staff performance reviews must be completed through PLAnet Spider by May 26, 2011 and a paper copy needs to be received by Terri Weaver by May 31, 2011. I urge you to start this process as soon as possible to avoid being caught by unexpected snags.
