Annual Evaluations for Civil Service and Academic Professional Employees
The Annual Evaluation Process for Academic Professional and Civil Service employees has begun! The evaluation period is from April 1, 2023 – May 31, 2024. Evaluations must be submitted to Human Resources no later than close of business Friday, June 7, 2024. Supervisors should utilize this electronic form to complete the annual evaluation and to submit the evaluation to Human Resources. As a reminder, supervisors will assign self-evaluations to their individual employees. Employees should NOT click on the evaluation form to start their self-evaluations. More information on the annual evaluation process, including best practices and Frequently Asked Questions, can be found on the Human Resources website.
HR will also be holding two training sessions for supervisors that cover best practices for completing annual evaluations. See dates and times below:

Employee Development Series
April Session
Please join us for the April Employee Development Session: Search Committee and Search Chair Orientation. This session will be presented by the UIS Access and Equity Office and a panel of experienced Search Chairs and Search Committee Members.
Effective hiring for the University is critical to our long-term success as a learning institution that serves its students and staff well. Attracting and hiring outstanding people is the goal of every Academic Professional and Faculty search committee – the better our search teams run, the better our faculty and staff will become.
All faculty and staff may be asked to participate on a search committee. If you have ever considered serving on a search committee, and you want to learn more about it, this session is for you. If you have previously served on a search committee but you need a refresher on the process, or you want to learn more about becoming a search chair, this session is for you.
In this session, attendees will:
- Learn what it takes to be an effective Search Committee Member.
- Learn how to be an effective Search Committee Chair.
- Learn how you can support your Search Committees as a Hiring Manager.
The session will be held in-person in PAC 154 on April 24, 2024, from 10:00-11:30am.
