Rating Scale

Based on the evaluation we receive for the criteria above, we will receive one of three possible performance ratings.

• Exceptional Year - This rating reflects performance that demonstrates outstanding accomplishments, strongly differentiated contributions, high quality outcomes, and a display of behaviors that have a significant impact on either the department/division or CCHMC during the evaluation year. Exceptional Year is a tremendous rating that reflects some of the most significant performance years in one's career. This rating is granted for outstanding sustained performance and/or significant achievements over the year.
• On Target - This rating reflects performance that demonstrates accomplishments and contributions during the evaluation year that solidly support organizational performance and values. On Target is a desirable rating. Most employees remain On Target performers throughout their careers, and represent the foundational strength of our organization.
• Improvement Needed - This rating reflects performance and behaviors that are below the desired target or not demonstrated as proficient. A rating of Improvement Needed indicates an opportunity for development and a need to establish a strategy for improvement. An overall rating of Improvement Needed warrants the need to establish a performance improvement plan. Sectional ratings of Improvement Needed may also warrant a performance improvement plan.
