Review of the 3 ad hoc committee recommendations – Kay
Ad Team reviewed recommendations from the three ad hoc committees which were formed from the cultural survey. It was decided that Donna, Kay, Kim and Jim will meet and review in depth the proposals and respond to each committee on future action.
Calibration of appraisals – Kay
Kay reported on the calibration of the new appraisal system. Currently Kay and Denyvetta have been calibrating every appraisal they have done. Kay asked for input on ways to make sure the calibration is consistent across the system. Questions and discussion followed. It is important that there is consistency with defining what meets and exceeds standards. Kay will be bringing a couple of examples to a future Ad Team meeting.
