Celebrate

Employee Work Anniversary and Birthday 

Recognizing and celebrating these milestones show your employees that you value them as individuals, as well as their contributions and efforts in the workplace. These acknowledgements can boost morale and motivation. For more information on LSU’s recognition program, visit our Employee Recognition Program webpage.

If you are seeking ways to celebrate your employee’s 1-year milestone outside of the Employee Recognition Program, explore our 1-year milestone document for some creative ideas.

Creating Success

Performance Management  

The Continuous Performance Management (CPM) represents a continuous process of planning, communication, evaluation, development, and recognition between the employee and the supervisor. The process begins with a planning session for the manager to set major responsibilities, goals, and review the competencies for employees. Please note: a Planning Session must be completed by the manager within 30 days of the effective hire date in the following cases: a new Classified/Unclassified/Other Academic employee is hired, or an employee begins another position (lateral move/promotion/demotion/change job). 

Each year, managers complete an Annual Evaluation that provides formal documented feedback and offer development opportunities based on performance. For more information, visit the Performance Management webpage.
