Employee Self-Evaluation
At the beginning of the Midway Feedback and End of Cycle Review periods, Workday will prompt each employee to complete an online “Self-Evaluation.” This enables the employee to list their contributions throughout the review period and assess how they have met performance expectations (“Expectations”). The manager will review the employee’s Self-Evaluation and consider the input in their own evaluation. Employees who do not complete the Self-Evaluation will miss this opportunity to exchange observations and feedback with the manager.
Tips for the Employee: Preparing for the Self-Evaluation
- Make Time: Allocate a block of time in a quiet setting to think about the items below and complete the Self-Evaluation.
- Review Expectations: Start by reviewing the Performance Factors and Expectations that you set with your manager at the beginning of the review period.
- Reflect on Performance: In your notes, make a list of projects, tasks, and functions you performed during the review period (both completed and in-progress) in relation to Expectations. Write down specific examples and outcomes to create an accurate performance snapshot.
- Gather Documentation: Gather all notes and records that support how well you met Expectations during the review period, as well as anything relevant to your development needs.
- Reflect on Development Needs: Take a minute to reflect on any weaknesses or opportunities for development that you may have. Write down any training or guidance you need from your manager, as well as any plans for self-growth.
- Complete the Self-Evaluation: Open the Self-Evaluation task in Workday and use your notes to complete the questionnaire.
