Performance Management
While supervisors are encouraged to continually coach and mentor their staff, the University’s Staff Annual Performance Evaluation Process provides the framework and guidelines to formally document and evaluate performance on an annual basis.
The University recognizes that regular and open communication between supervisors and employees helps create and maintain a productive work environment.
Performance evaluations are an opportunity for staff and supervisors to step back from the day-to-day tasks to review past accomplishments and set clear goals for the future. Staff is the core of Kentucky State, and to be successful, employees need to know how they're doing and how they can improve. It's also an opportunity to celebrate accomplishments and discuss areas of improvement.
The process is designed to:

- identify areas for employee development
- encourage collaborative goal-setting
