We are approximately halfway through the 2025 evaluation cycle, and at this point we encourage all employees and supervisors to review your goals set for this year and touch base on progress achieving those goals.  Additionally, as you are already aware, annual evaluations are directly tied to an employee’s position description (PD) in PeopleAdmin.  It would be a good idea to start reviewing the PDs now instead of doing it during the rush at the end of the year just before the evaluations open up.  It is crucial for PDs to be reviewed each year before the evaluation process starts. 

To review your PD in the PeopleAdmin system:

• To access your PD in PeopleAdmin, go to the new Experience Portal > My Employment Details > Job Description
• If updates need to be made to the PD:

• CSA employees have the ability to start the process in the PeopleAdmin system and make changes to their own PDs. They will see a modify option when viewing the PD. Once they have made updates, they will send it to their supervisor to review and edit as necessary.
• NFE employees can view their PD but cannot start the process to make changes in the PeopleAdmin system. The supervisor or Human Resources will need to initiate the PD to the NFE employee so they can edit.
• Supervisors can access PeopleAdmin by going to the new Experience Portal > Employment Resources > Classification & Recruitment Tools (PeopleAdmin Manager Login).

Any updates to PDs need to be completed, reviewed by supervisor, then sent to “Institutional HR” in the system by September 2025. We plan to open the NFE and CSA evaluation system in PeopleAdmin in the fall and evaluations are based on the calendar year, January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.

Please reach out if you have any questions.
