HR Update

New Function Live in Performance Appraisal Tool (PAT) Platform

The goal-setting portion of the new PAT platform goes live on Monday, July 29, 2024. At that time, supervisors and employees will be able to log in and set goals to start the performance cycle. Talent Strategy recommends HR leads send either option A or B of email number four from the PAT Transition Guide depending on whether or not they will host workshops for supervisors. 

The ability to document ongoing check-ins and write evaluations will be available in early January 2025.

Additionally, PAT Administrator Training launches next week via Canvas. Those designated as PAT administrators (except view-only admins) will receive an email invitation to complete the course.
