The University supports a positive approach in assisting employees to assess their strengths and weaknesses for the purpose of maximizing their performance and furthering professional growth. Performance appraisals are an inherent part of the process by which management can accomplish these objectives. The appraisals provide management with information useful in merit salary determinations and at the same time provide the opportunity for constructive evaluation and discussion of employee weaknesses and strengths.
