The AgCenter has a performance appraisal system for each category of employee. The AgCenter Classified Performance Evaluation process transitioned to Workday on January 1, 2025.
Evaluations provide a systematic process that assesses an individual employee’s job performance and productivity in relation to certain pre-established criteria and organizational objectives. Other aspects of individual employees may be considered as well, such as accomplishments, potential for future improvement, strengths and weaknesses, etc. The classified performance evaluation will be formally conducted annually. The evaluation interaction between supervisor and employee should be on-going throughout the year. There are links to resources accessible below to provide insight on the new online system and overall performance evaluation process.
