FY21 Valuation: Quarter 4 — Bringing it all together

As we enter the fourth quarter of FY21, it’s time to finalize a few details to complete the FY21 Valuation and start thinking about next year’s goals.
By this time, much of the work has been done to make the Valuation process a success for leaders and staff.
Over the last three quarters, employees should have drafted SMART goals, had regular quarterly check-ins with their supervisor to discuss progress and modifications toward goals and be well on their way to wrapping up their Valuations.
The focus for Q4 is to focus on progress made, receive feedback from colleagues, customers and supervisors, and begin planning for the next year.
To help understand what to do in Q4, watch this brief overview video and review the steps outlined below.
- Review the 1-Year Performance Management Roadmap.
- Check out the five most commonly asked questions and resources available to complete the FY21 Valuation.
- Hold an employee/supervisor check-in focused on reviewing progress toward SMART goals (utilize these end of the year questions as a framework for the conversation). This can be done during a regularly scheduled 1:1.
- Continue to think about 360 Peer / Customer Feedback and send 360s out.
- Revisit and refine individual’s Development Plan, as needed.
- Revisit and refine job specific work goals, as needed.
- Begin to think about job specific goals for next year.
- Complete the Valuation form (both managers and employee), including individual ratings, and submit it to the HR Solution Center. Details on how to complete this step are available on the form and on the HR website.
Remember, the goal of the Performance Management Valuation process is to have continuous conversations between leader and employee to foster growth.
Upcoming webinars and additional resources
To help both staff and leaders learn more about the FY21 Valuation and how to successfully complete the year-end process, several information sessions have been scheduled, beginning April 30. Anyone is welcome to register and attend these sessions.
Also, a special leader-focused valuation information has been created to support leaders who may have questions or want more information about how to use the Performance Management process more effectively and efficiently within their teams and departments. Anyone with direct reports is encouraged to register for one of the two sessions available in May and June.
