Appraisal and Development Plan Process
New Diversity Component for MSU Employees Appraisal and Development Plans (ADPs) Effective January 2012
Our University's Long Range Plan has an important component for Diversity and Inclusion and so in support of our long range plan each employee should have at least one Objective/Job Duty in Section One of their ADP Planning Form. The discussion of the Objective/Job Duty will also open a dialog between the employee and supervisor during which time the supervisor can relate to the employee the importance of Diversity and Inclusion for the success of the University’s Long Range Plan. The Objective or Job Duty listed in Section One of the ADP should be within the scope of the employee's job during the rated year and be provided as part of the Planning Meeting. The employee will then be evaluated on his/her success during the next year in fulfilling that Diversity and Inclusion Objective/Job Duty as well as the other Objectives/Duties in Section One.
This new component should be included in all ADP planning meetings and document starting January 2012 for all employees in support of their annual and probationary evaluations. All employees will then be evaluated on this new Diversity and Inclusion Objective/Job Duty on their October 2012 - January 2013 annual evaluation. If an ADP Planning meeting and document has already been provided to an employee for the coming year, the supervisor should amended it to include at least one Objective/Job Duty in Section One related to Diversity and Inclusion.
