HR Update
PAT Update - October 2024
As the development of the Performance Appraisal Tool (PAT) continues behind the scenes, we wanted to remind the HR community of the current and future stages and action expectations.
Current Stage: Goal Setting
What it means:
- Employees now have year-round access to goal setting within PAT where they can both set new goals for the year and upload goals from previous years if they want access to them on the new platform.
Required action:
- Nothing. PAT administrators do not need to do anything to give supervisors and employees access to goals.
- Optional: HR Leads can send the fifth communication from the transition guide if needed.
Up Next: Training and Expanded Access
What it means:
- Administrative access to the evaluation functionality will be available in late December to prepare for the next year's evaluations.
Required action:
- Training must be completed before administrative access is granted. The training is available now, but Talent Strategy recommends completing it closer to the December launch so the information is fresh in your mind. Talent Strategy will provide virtual working sessions in December to help set up evaluations and answer questions.
