<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Physics Staff and Supervisors,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Faculty – if you do not supervise regular staff, you can disregard this email.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are half way through the 2017/2018 performance period (04/01/2017 – 03/31/2018) and during the month of October the Office of Human Resources and College of Arts and Sciences ask that we complete Mid-Year Touch Base sessions with all
department staff. Mid-Year Touch Bases are to be conducted as a half-way checkpoint to discuss employee’s progress toward performance goals, adjust them as needed, and add any new goals necessitated by early achievement or changes in employee or group objectives.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Supervisors please plan to meet with your staff (approximately 30-60 minutes) to complete the attached, one page ASC 2017-2018 Mid-Year Touch Base form. Please remember that while the form is required, the conversation should be the primary
focus. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Newly hired staff members who did not complete a performance review in 2016/2017 should meet with their supervisor to complete the ASC 2017-2018 Performance Plan Form also attached to this email. This will document performance goals from
their hire date through the end of the review period and will be a starting point for conversation for upcoming performance reviews.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The mid-year touch base sessions are not required for Post Doctoral Researchers but are highly encouraged.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Electronic submission of forms is greatly appreciated. Once complete, the supervisor and the employee should sign the form. Supervisors please scan and email to
<a href="mailto:ASC-physics-hr@osu.edu">ASC-physics-hr@osu.edu</a>. I will not be routing these through DocuSign – that is only for annual reviews.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please email completed Mid-Year Touch Base forms to <a href="mailto:ASC-physics-hr@osu.edu">
ASC-physics-hr@osu.edu</a> no later than Wednesday, November 1, 2017. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
