All full-time and part-time staff employees hired prior to October 1, 2024 must receive a performance review.

To ensure compliance with our workplace records and reporting requirements in our HR database, you can view the supervisor hierarchy in our Human Resource Information System (or payroll system) (HCM). Managers and supervisors can view their direct reports and initiate certain employment actions by using Manager Self-Service (MSS).

Please follow the below steps:

Log in to HCM:

• Go to Gibson and choose the EBS (TAMS and HCM) link under the Administration section. Log in to HCM and choose the Tulane Manager Self-Service link. Go to My Employees.

Confirm your direct reports:

• For staff employees, the Supervisor or Manager is the person that supervises the employee’s day-to-day work and has the responsibility for maintaining any system authorizations pertaining to that employee.

Review your direct reports:

• Please review the below fields on each of your direct reports' record in HCM for accuracy. Salary, Employment, working hours, etc.

Questions:

• Contact the HRIS team at hris@tulane.edu.

Some basic tips for preparation include:

• Keep in mind and document accomplishments, feedback, and training throughout the review period.
• Complete the Employee Self-Review to organize your thoughts and reflect on the prior year’s work prior to discussing with your manager. 
• Prepare discussion points for the review. 
• Review the Performance Review Collection of LinkedIn Learning courses to further enhance your performance view best practices. 

Yes; you will receive an email copy automatically when your supervisor submits it.

You are advised to discuss your concerns with your direct supervisor.  If the concerns are not resolved with the direct supervisor, you may speak to your supervisor’s supervisor.  The decision of the supervisor’s supervisor is final.

The employee signature acknowledges receipt but does not mean you agree with the review.  You must submit your review to your manager with your electronic signature. You are encouraged to add comments to the review, which will be included with the manager’s feedback.

Performance reviews are not required or expected for student employees.
