At the Department of Computer Science (and HIIT Kumpula), the schedule for this round of assessments is the following.

If the personal performance of an employee has been evaluated after 1 December 2014, such an evaluation will be unnecessary in this round of evaluations. In such cases, the evaluation of personal performance may have been a new employee’s first assessment or an evaluation conducted in connection with a change in the requirement level of the job.
Important: We have at the department several employees whose requirement level (Vaati) has not been confirmed. The administration team will draw up lists of missing requirement level confirmations and send them to the superiors. The superiors should asap start filling in the requirement level forms for employees on the list, in cooperation with these employees.
Development discussions/Kehityskeskustelut
====================================
University superiors conduct annual development discussions with each of their employees. During the discussions, the superior and employee talk about the employee’s future goals, how the employee’s own work contributes to the unit’s goals, as well as the kind of competence and resources the employee needs to achieve his or her objectives.
The department's own forms (1) or the forms of the university in Flamma (2) are available as support for the discussions.
