The UNC System’s SHRA Performance Appraisal Program aligns performance management practices amongst the University of North Carolina System institutions. The program places emphasis on both institutional goals and individual goals, standardizes the categories for evaluation, and promotes effective communication between employees and supervisors.
The program uses a standardized 3-point rating scale:
(3) Exceeding Expectations
(2) Meeting Expectations
(1) Not Meeting Expectations
All employees hired on or before October 1, 2021 are required to have a completed evaluation.
