Classified performance appraisal process begins
The classified staff performance appraisal process begins today and completed evaluations are due Friday, October 13. The performance appraisal is a wonderful opportunity to provide employees with feedback, set professional development goals, and identify opportunities for career growth. As you know, this is the last year Employee Work Profiles (EWPs) will be used as part of the performance appraisal process. In support of the Great Place: HR Redesign, VCU is currently piloting a new performance management process for all classified staff and university employees. We look forward to rolling this out university-wide later in the fall and will offer training for Ram Talent Connection, software for managers and employees that supports the new performance management process.
For this current performance appraisal cycle, please note the following:
- Classified employees hired prior to July 25, 2017 must be evaluated during this performance review cycle.
- The Employee Work Profile (EWP) Performance Evaluation form may be found on the VCU Human Resources forms webpage or via the following link:

- Classified employees who receive an overall rating of “Extraordinary Achiever” or “Unsatisfactory Performer” require additional documentation to accompany their performance evaluations, which is explained on the overall ratings/signature page on the form.
- Supervisors who plan to issue an overall rating of “Unsatisfactory Performer” must conduct prior consultation with VCU Human Resources Office of Employee Relations, which can be reached at 828-1510.
- Please send completed evaluations, and supporting documentation as required, through ImageNow/Perceptive by fax at 827-8250 or by email at hrdocs@vcu.edu. If you are unable to fax or email to ImageNow/Perceptive, you can hand-deliver completed forms to the VCU Human Resources Welcome Center at the corner of West Franklin Street and Belvidere Street on the Monroe Park Campus.
- We encourage Personnel Administrators to request completed evaluations at least two weeks prior to the due date (Oct. 13) to review the evaluations for accuracy and completion.
The annual review process is a requirement of State Policy 1.40, Performance Planning and Evaluation. More information about VCU’s classified performance appraisal process is available at http://www.hr.vcu.edu/current-employees/performance-evaluations/.
