UNO's Annual Performance Review Cycle Underway

The annual performance review cycle for staff personnel covering calendar year 2024 is approaching. As in previous years, the process is below.

The Evaluation Cycle

The UNeVal performance evaluation cycle begins March 3 and runs through May 2, 2025. Supervisors and employees will complete performance evaluations in the UNeVal system. Annual performance reviews are mandatory according to the University of Nebraska system policy.

Employee Responsibilities

• Log into the UNeVal system to complete the evaluation. A notification sent via email will provide the access link.
• Document key accomplishments and confirm completion of sexual misconduct training.
• Self-evaluate using the eight (8) performance indicators:
  • Job knowledge, quality of work, problem-solving, productivity, interpersonal skills, customer service, accountability & attendance, culture & environment.
• If you are a supervisor, complete an additional section assessing management skills.
• Establish SMART goals for the upcoming year.
• Submit the evaluation to your supervisor for review.

Supervisor Responsibilities

• Review your employee’s self-evaluation and provide ratings on the eight (8) performance indicators.
• If the employee is a supervisor, assess their management skills.
• Verify the employee’s completion of sexual misconduct training.
• Provide constructive feedback on accomplishments and performance.
• Review and comment on the employee’s goals for the next year.
• Conduct a mandatory evaluation meeting to discuss ratings, goals, and feedback directly with the employee.
• Submit the finalized evaluation in the UNeVal system.

Additional Notes

• Probationary review exemption: Employees who have completed a probationary review on or after July 1, 2024, are exempt unless their supervisor requests an annual review.
• Deadline: All evaluations must be completed by Monday, May 2, 2025. In the event merit increases are granted, failure to meet this deadline may impact those considerations.
