If you are hired as a full-time staff employee, your first ninety days of employment is a trial period. This provides you and the College with the opportunity to determine if the working assignment is mutually satisfactory. If, during this period, either you or the College decides the working arrangement is not satisfactory, either may terminate the relationship without notice. The completion of the trial period should not be construed as creating a contract or as guaranteeing employment for any specific duration or as establishing a "just cause" termination standard.
People deserve to know how they’re doing in their work, and the best people to tell them are co-workers and supervisors with whom they work and interact every day. Feedback and Development Circles provide pertinent feedback to individual team members to help them grow. (See Feedback and Development Manual for a full explanation of the College’s performance evaluation process and the appropriate forms to be used.) After the first full Feedback process is completed - at one year - staff members are evaluated in this fashion every two to three years. (A shortened Feedback and Development Circle process is utilized during this alternate cycle.) The Feedback and Development Circles provide a process for workers at Berea College to receive feedback on how they fulfill the College’s Workplace Expectations and their specific job performance. This feedback forms the basis for creating a development plan for the future.
Workplace evaluation is a continuous process. In addition to the regular Feedback and Development Circles, special performance evaluations and annual evaluations may be provided.
Workplace Expectations and job specific skills, together with Feedback and Development Circles, are part of the College’s commitment to see everyone play a part in making Berea College an even better place to work and learn. This is an invitation to “climb higher.”
