Student Employee Performance Appraisal
Stage: Build your own Work+
l
Audience: Supervisors
Summary
Performance appraisals for student employees working on a college campus are crucial for a number of reasons. They provide a structured way to provide feedback, helping students understand their strengths and areas for improvement. This feedback is essential for their personal and professional growth. Secondly, performance appraisals allow supervisors to set clear expectations and goals, which can improve the student's focus and motivation. Northern Arizona University (NAU) has implemented a structured performance appraisal process, centered around the evaluation of the NACE Career Competencies to ensure that students receive the necessary feedback and support to enhance their skills. NAU understands performance appraisals play a vital role in managing student employee performance, promoting their development, and ensuring their engagement and success on campus.
How to use this resource
- If your campus is not currently evaluating student employee performance in a formalized way, use this performance appraisal example as inspiration to develop your own internal tool and process.
- If your campus or department/unit is currently doing performance appraisals, then consider comparing these two tools. Are there aspects of this tool that you may want to consider adding to your process?
- Use this as an opportunity to have a larger conversation at your institution about the level of experience, structure and feedback that is provided to student employees. How might you open the conversation to create an evaluation process that is consistent across your institution for all student employees?
