Effective February 1, 2023, HROE launched common hire dates, on the 1st and 16th of each month. These plans also included additional dates to accommodate the high volume of student/graduate assistant hires during the summer months and the beginning of the academic semesters. These common hire dates are available online and linked below. As you plan for future hires, managers should keep in mind that a background/compliance check must clear before the hire date. Please contact your HR Professional so you can submit hiring requests timely (preferably 5 days before hire date) and ensure a successful onboarding experience for your new hires.      

Managers’ Minutes is intended to be a helpful, information sharing session to keep managers and supervisors apprised of the knowledge they need to be a helpful resource to their direct reports and teams. Starting June 15, these bi-weekly Zoom sessions will afford leadership the opportunity to share messages, solicit input/feedback for upcoming initiatives, offer access to knowledgeable HR subject matter experts and  further support opportunities for managers and supervisors across campus to collaborate. Please visit the Managers’ Minutes webpage for more details and give us your feedback on session topics you want to hear about.

The Performance Review process, which began on April 1, is quickly approaching the completion date of May 31. Employees must submit the self-evaluation task in Workday so supervisors can complete their employees’ evaluations. As a reminder, eligibility for a merit salary Increase as part of the regular budget cycle is dependent on a completed staff performance evaluation with a "meets expectations" or higher overall rating. For questions, please contact hrevaluations@tamu.edu.
