Annual Performance Summary Process for Staff

For Staff, HR

The Human Resources Office is pleased to offer resources that we hope you will find helpful during the Annual Performance Summary (APS) process for staff members. As you may recall, the annual performance evaluation process for staff members takes place between January 1 and March 31 of each year.

The APS form for 2016 remains the same. Below, please find a link to the form, helpful tools and guides to support the APS process, and an on-line audio training presentation that will help you prepare whether you are a supervisor or individual contributor. For those who have attended the training sessions offered in past years, you may find this recorded presentation to be a convenient refresher.

Informal Performance Evaluations for Staff Members

For Faculty, For Staff

Annual written performance evaluations are conducted for staff members between January 1 and March 31 of each year as part of the College’s ongoing performance feedback process.  Also part of this process, informal performance evaluation meetings are conducted at six-month intervals between the annual written performance evaluations.  For most staff, informal evaluation meetings occur between July and September.

The annual evaluation process is designed to give employees and supervisors an opportunity to evaluate work accomplishments and performance during the review period and establish goals and objectives for the future.  The informal evaluation provides a valuable opportunity for mid-year feedback, review of the progress in meeting goals, and plans for any necessary adjustments.

Supervisors should be making plans to meet with their staff members to conduct mid-year performance discussions if not already completed.  Staff and supervisors should contact Human Resources with any questions or concerns about the performance evaluation process by calling x5465, option 1.

EthicsPoint Reporting System

Uncategorized

An announcement from Patrick Norton, Vice President for Finance and Treasurer

As members of Middlebury, all of us, regardless of position, share the responsibility to promote a culture of integrity. To help accomplish this goal, we have recently installed a new phone and Internet-based ethics reporting system managed by EthicsPoint.  Serving more than 2,000 organizations world-wide, EthicsPoint is committed to helping organizations like ours by facilitating the reporting and identification of issues that are inconsistent with our policies.

We hope you feel comfortable bringing potential ethical issues or concerns to your supervisor. But we understand that this is not always the case. This new system provides an alternative channel for you to communicate your concerns confidentially and anonymously. We have partnered with EthicsPoint to manage the reporting system for us. They have gone to great lengths to ensure that reports entered in the system are completely confidential.

You can access EthicsPoint from the Quick Links menu located at the Middlebury or Monterey Institute of International Studies homepages. 

When you use the EthicsPoint Reporting System, you can report misconduct that you observe, or gain clarity on whether or not something is cause for concern. You have my commitment that all reports will be reviewed and responded to in a timely and appropriate manner.

Please refer to the attached information for details regarding the EthicsPoint Reporting System and for instructions on submitting concerns or questions via the phone or the Web http://www.middlebury.edu/offices/administration/vpfin/controller/ethics. The EthicsPoint Reporting System is designed for reporting matters of a financial nature, Human Resources related incidents, and issues related to workplace safety. Please note that harassment and discrimination should be reported using the existing policies and procedures outlined in the College Handbook. Middlebury values your opinions. I encourage you to use this system to report any issues or concerns you feel are appropriate.  If you have any questions about the EthicsPoint Reporting System, please contact Laura Carotenuto, Manager of Employee Relations, at extension 2012 or via e-mail at lcaroten@middlebury.edu.
